Pinpoint orphan and unmapped service connections.
Many sewer laterals connect to mains in unrecorded locations, or the records show one thing and the pipe goes another. Lateral locating and tracing combines sonde-equipped CCTV, surface electromagnetic tracing, and where needed sonar/probe methods to map the actual path of laterals from building to main. Output is a referenced site plan suitable for civil engineering review.
