“Scan before you dig” is becoming the new standard for professional underground utility work in Alabama. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) scanning before any excavation or boring dramatically reduces the risk of utility strikes, project delays, and costly repairs. Boring Bros LLC provides professional GPR utility scanning throughout Alabama.

The True Cost of a Utility Strike in Alabama

A single utility strike on an Alabama construction project can result in: immediate project shutdown, thousands of dollars in repair costs, regulatory fines for 811 violations, civil liability to the utility owner, project delays of days or weeks, and — in the case of gas or electrical strikes — serious injury or death. The cost of a GPR scan is almost always less than 1% of the cost of a utility strike.

What GPR Finds That Standard Locates Miss

Standard 811 utility locates mark registered, active utilities — but they miss private utilities, abandoned lines, concrete drainage structures, voids, and utilities installed without proper documentation. GPR imaging sees all of these subsurface features, giving Alabama contractors a complete picture before any ground is disturbed.
