    Frequently Asked Questions

    Please reach us at admin@linearlocating.ca if you cannot find an answer to your question.

    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. Contact Linear Locating for a free estimate.
