Utility Locating in McKinney, TX
McKinney runs on two clocks. The historic square and the neighborhoods around it carry utilities older than any surviving record, while the growth corridors north and west add new infrastructure every month. Both halves punish crews that trust the drawings.
A historic square on one end, greenfield on the other
Around the square, McKinney's utilities date to eras when nobody kept drawings worth trusting. Water, gas, and electric were installed, abandoned, and re-run over a century, and downtown renovation projects routinely uncover service nobody knew existed.
Out along 380 and the Sam Rayburn tollway, the story flips to Frisco-style growth: many builders, fast schedules, fragmented records, all sitting on Blackland clay that moves with the seasons.
- Historic downtown utilities that predate reliable records
- Renovation projects uncovering undocumented service
- Highway 380 corridor growth layered over rural legacy lines
- Expansive clay shifting recorded positions
- Abandoned lines requiring GPR rather than EM alone
