There was a number of 13k electrical feeders coming off 12th Avenue that were 18ft deep. These were difficult to locate due to the depth of the cables. ACS used a 1000 kHz GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) antenna on this site to verify such lines. The building had fiber optic cables that were also 15-18 ft deep. The combination of equipment, skill, experience and knowledge was used by the ACS team of technicians to successfully identify and locate these important communication cables.

After ACS finished locating utilities on the exterior of the building we continued to mark out the utilities in the interior of the building. 54 test bore sites had to be drilled to support the weight of the new addition. Once more, the ACS expertise on tools such as GPR helped this site have no utility disruptions during the mass demolition. Other existing utilities had to be located so that new lines were tapped or spliced from them.

“Without ACS Underground Solutions on this difficult site we would not of known where to begin, we had two other so called utility companies attempt to protect this site but they failed when two lines were hit. We welcomed ACS with open arms”.
