Utility Mapping & Documentation
A locate is only as useful as the record it leaves behind. Our utility mapping services turn field work into permanent documentation.
Field-to-record utility documentation.
Every locate can include structured documentation so the work doesn't disappear after the paint fades.
Field Sketches
Hand-drafted utility sketches based on field-located lines and visible features.
GPS Data Collection
Coordinate capture of located utilities for use in site plans and GIS.
Photo Documentation
Timestamped photos of paint marks, surface features, and access points.
Site Utility Records
Structured records that support facility management and future projects.
As-Built Support
Field data formatted to support engineering and as-built drawings.
Facility Recordkeeping
Ongoing utility records for campuses, schools, and industrial sites.
Why mapping pays off.
- · Reduces guesswork on future excavation work.
- · Supports long-term facility planning and capital projects.
- · Creates permanent records of identified underground utilities.
- · Improves coordination between owners, contractors, and engineers.
- · Builds the foundation for future GIS or digital mapping integration.
Important: Always contact 811 before any excavation. Midwest Utility Locating specializes in private utility locating for privately owned underground facilities that may not be located through the public 811 system. Private utility locating is not a replacement for contacting 811. Results depend on site conditions, utility material, access, signal quality, tracer wire availability, and other factors. Midwest Utility Locating helps reduce risk but cannot guarantee identification of every underground facility.

Add utility mapping to your next project and build a documentation trail that benefits every future dig.
