About Pinnacle Utility Locating
A commercial locating contractor built around consistency: same standards, same documentation, same accountability in every market.
Who we are
Pinnacle Utility Locating is a private utility locating company delivering professional subsurface investigation for commercial, industrial, and municipal properties across the United States. We find and mark buried utilities that public 811 tickets do not cover — so crews can excavate without hitting what they cannot see.
From electromagnetic locating and ground penetrating radar to concrete scanning, utility mapping, and documented damage-prevention records, our crews focus on the fundamentals that prevent strikes: the right method for the soil and surface, documented APWA marks, and maps the superintendent can actually use.
Every market is staffed by local crews operating to the same national standards, documentation, and safety expectations — so a contractor with sites in six states gets one consistent experience.
Today we serve 44 metro markets with private utility locating, GPR, mapping, concrete scanning, and damage prevention programs.
- 44 Metro markets served
- 5 Core service lines
- 48hr Typical proposal turnaround
- 100% Licensed & insured crews

How we work
A five-stage delivery process
Predictable execution from first ticket review to documented closeout — at every stage.
-
01
Ticket & site review
We review the 811 ticket, as-builts, and access, then walk the property to confirm what public marks miss before quoting.
-
02
Scope & proposal
You receive a written scope with methods, coverage area, deliverables, and pricing — typically within 48 hours.
-
03
Field locating
Crews apply EM, GPR, and concrete scanning as specified and paint APWA color-coded marks on the ground.
-
04
Mapping & records
Marks are documented with photos, sketches, or CAD/GIS mapping so the next crew is not starting from zero.
-
05
Closeout
You receive locate records, maps, and a documented closeout your superintendent can file with the job.
Client feedback
Trusted by owners and facility teams
Pinnacle marked private electric and comms our 811 ticket never showed. The crew was on time, the paint was clear, and we excavated the same afternoon without a strike.
We needed GPR and mapping across a plant yard before a fiber build. Pinnacle documented everything, coordinated with our safety rules, and the drawings actually matched the field.
Great experience from ticket review to closeout. The locating and mapping were professional, and the Dallas crew made it simple to get the records our inspector asked for.
