Linear Locating is a Southwest Saskatchewan underground utility locating company focused on damage prevention and safe ground disturbance. We believe that clarity below ground creates confidence above. We are known for our consistency, accuracy and reliability. With over 15 years of field experience and strong local knowledge, we bring practical understanding to every project.

We accurately locate underground pipelines, cables, utilities, and private services before excavation begins. Our work includes identifying infrastructure not covered by Sask 1st call programs, as well as locating on sites where buried infrastructure may be unknown, modified, or poorly documented. We provide clear communication and documentation to ensure clients have everything required to complete safe and efficient ground disturbance.

We work with energy companies, consultants, project managers, engineers, municipalities, farmers, and private utility owners to reduce risk and move projects forward safely. Based in Swift Current SK we serve a wide region throughout all of Southern Saskatchewan.

We provide accurate locating of underground utilities and pipelines to give clients clear, reliable information before ground disturbance begins. Our locates reduce risk protecting people and assets allowing projects to move forward safely and with confidence.

Not all buried utilities are covered by One-Call programs. We specialize in locating and documenting buried cables (communication, power, fiber-optic), Pipelines and other buried facilities so you can proceed with ground disturbance safely and with confidence.

Using specialized Electromagnetic Induction Locators, we perform 4-way grid pattern sweeps of pipeline and cable rights-of-ways to find unknown locatable lines. This allow our clients to dig with confidence knowing their assets and employees are safe.

We support environmental reclamation and drilling programs by identifying and marking known and unknown buried infrastructure, helping ensure work can proceed with confidence.

Facilities with congested or poorly documented infrastructure require experience and careful execution to locate accurately. We have the knowledge, procedures, and field experience to provide confidence in challenging site conditions.

We provide clear and dependable documentation to support safe planning and long-term reference. When beneficial, Drone imagery and GIS mapping are included to help clients understand how located infrastructure relates to real-world site conditions. Our documentation provides reliable records that can be referenced, shared, and built upon as projects move forward.

We provide screening and locates for companies registered with Sask First Call. We also offer first call management support for clients planning ground disturbance.
We provide support and resources to help clients create dig plans before excavation begins. Using field experience and ground disturbance training, we help identify hand expose areas and potential risk zones to support safe excavation.
Safety is central to everything we do. Our approach is built on careful planning, clear communication, and a commitment to protecting people, property, and buried infrastructure. Regular safety meetings reinforce accountability and awareness in the field.
Pre-job hazard assessments are completed prior to site work to identify and address potential risks. Site-specific conditions are reviewed to ensure work is performed safely and in accordance with established procedures.
Linear Locating maintains SECOR certification and carries appropriate insurance coverage for the environments in which we operate. We are registered with ISNetworld, ComplyWorks, and 8AM Solutions to meet contractor compliance requirements across industrial and municipal projects. Clear documentation and record keeping support accountability and regulatory alignment.

Yes, a crucial step in safe ground disturbance is requesting a locate through Sask First Call. This can be done online or by phone. visit www.sask1stcall.com
Private locates are required for all lines that are not covered by Sask 1st call locates. Any private power, gas, and communication lines will not be marked by 1st call programs and must be located by private line locators such as Linear Locating.
The ground disturber is typically responsible for damaged utilities if they were not located prior to excavation.
Private locates should be performed any time known or unknown private lines may be in the area. Common areas for private lines are: Farm yards, acreages, oilfield leases, construction sites, bin yards or areas which the history of buried facilities are unknown.
Finding unknown lines takes a mix of experience and equipment to be done properly. Using two crew members and specialized electromagnetic induction locators we send powerful frequencies into the ground and walk specialized grid patterns. By doing this we can ensure every effort has been used to find all locatable lines.
The cost of private locates can vary greatly depending on the size, complexity and location of the work required. Farm yards and acreages typically cost much less than complex construction and oilfield sites due to the number of lines and complexities involved with locating.
