Question 1

What makes SiteTwin’s GPR scanning services different from standard 811 utility locating in Dallas–Fort Worth?

Accepted Answer

SiteTwin’s GPR scanning goes beyond what 811 provides by detecting both metallic and non-metallic utilities, deep targets, and unknowns that traditional public locate services often miss. Our crews use advanced electromagnetic, ground penetrating radar, and GPS technologies to build a complete picture of subsurface conditions. Unlike 811, which focuses on public utilities, we specialize in private sites including commercial, industrial, and institutional properties. Every project is handled by our local, Texas-based crews—no call centers or brokers—ensuring faster turnaround and higher accuracy. Deliverables include GPR screenshots, GPS coordinates, marked PDFs, and CAD files ready for engineering integration, helping prevent costly utility strikes and delays.

Question 2

How soon can SiteTwin crews perform a GPR scan for a Dallas–Fort Worth construction project?

Accepted Answer

Because SiteTwin operates on a direct crew deployment model, we can typically schedule GPR scanning within 24 to 48 hours for most Dallas–Fort Worth job sites. Our local field teams are strategically positioned across the region to respond quickly and minimize downtime. Once scheduled, the scanning process itself usually takes only a few hours depending on site size and complexity. After scanning, deliverables such as GPR screenshots, GPS points, and CAD files are processed through our CAD/GIS pipeline and delivered promptly. This rapid turnaround helps contractors, engineers, and facility managers keep projects on schedule and avoid unexpected delays due to underground utility conflicts.

Question 3

What types of buried utilities and subsurface features can SiteTwin detect using GPR technology?

Accepted Answer

Our ground penetrating radar systems can detect a wide range of subsurface features including metallic and non-metallic pipes, conduits, voids, tanks, and structural elements. GPR is particularly effective for locating PVC, HDPE, and other non-conductive utilities that electromagnetic methods cannot identify. In combination with EM and passive detection, we provide a comprehensive view of underground conditions from surface to depths exceeding 20 feet, depending on soil composition. This multi-technology approach ensures that our Dallas–Fort Worth clients receive the most complete and reliable data possible before excavation or drilling begins.

Question 4

What deliverables will I receive after a SiteTwin GPR scanning or utility locating service?

Accepted Answer

After each GPR scanning or utility locating project, SiteTwin provides a complete deliverable package designed for engineers and construction teams. This includes GPR screenshots for visual confirmation, GPS points with precise coordinates, marked PDFs for quick field reference, and CAD files ready for integration into design or as-built documentation. All data is processed through our CAD/GIS pipeline, ensuring accuracy and consistency across every format. These deliverables help you plan safer excavations, verify bore paths, and document subsurface conditions for compliance and record-keeping purposes.

Question 5

Does SiteTwin adhere to professional and safety standards for subsurface utility engineering in Texas?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SiteTwin follows ASCE 38-02 standards for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and maintains OSHA-compliant field operations to ensure safety and reliability. Our crews are trained to perform systematic investigations at confidence levels from SUE Level A through Level D. This adherence to professional standards ensures that every locate and mapping service meets industry expectations for data quality and safety. By combining technical precision with strict safety protocols, we protect both your team and your infrastructure throughout every phase of the project.

Question 6

Can SiteTwin assist with emergency utility locating or urgent clearance needs in the DFW area?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. SiteTwin’s local crews are equipped to handle emergency utility locating and urgent clearance requests across the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex. We understand that unexpected excavation needs can arise during construction or maintenance. Our direct deployment model allows us to mobilize quickly—often within hours—to provide accurate GPR and EM scans that identify potential hazards before work resumes. This rapid response helps prevent costly damage, protects workers, and keeps your project compliant with safety standards even under tight deadlines.

Question 7

How accurate is SiteTwin’s GPR scanning data compared to traditional locating methods?

Accepted Answer

SiteTwin’s GPR scanning data is highly accurate because it combines multiple detection methods—GPR, EM, and GPS mapping—to cross-verify results. GPR provides detailed subsurface imaging, while EM locates conductive utilities and GPS ensures precise spatial referencing. This integrated approach reduces false positives and improves positional accuracy, often achieving results within inches of true location. Additionally, our CAD/GIS pipeline ensures that all deliverables align perfectly with engineering drawings, giving you confidence in every measurement and reducing the risk of rework or strikes.

Question 8

What industries and project types benefit most from SiteTwin’s GPR scanning services?

Accepted Answer

Our GPR scanning and utility locating services support a wide range of industries including construction, civil engineering, telecommunications, environmental consulting, and facility management. Typical project types include soil boring and drilling operations, fiber trenching, site upgrades, preconstruction planning, and emergency utility verification. Whether you’re managing a large infrastructure project or a small private site, SiteTwin’s Dallas–Fort Worth crews deliver fast, accurate data to keep your work safe and efficient.

Question 9

How does SiteTwin ensure data quality and consistency across its Dallas–Fort Worth operations?

Accepted Answer

Data quality is ensured through SiteTwin’s standardized CAD/GIS pipeline and proprietary technology integration. Each crew uses calibrated equipment and follows consistent data collection protocols. Field data is processed using PointMan software for real-time GPS integration, allowing immediate verification of utility positions. Before final delivery, all data undergoes internal review for accuracy and completeness. This process ensures that every client receives consistent, engineer-ready deliverables regardless of project size or location within the DFW area.
