Radar imaging of the subsurface that finds plastic pipe, tanks, and voids no signal can be put on.
In Owasso, Oklahoma — population 34,542, with buried infrastructure laid down over decades and recorded unevenly — ground penetrating radar is how a site gets read before anyone breaks ground. Local oil & gas, construction work drives most of the demand.
Ground penetrating radar pushes short radio pulses into the ground from a wheeled or handheld antenna and records what reflects back off boundaries between materials. Because it reads a change in material rather than a current on a wire, it reaches the targets electromagnetic locating cannot: PVC and HDPE with no tracer wire, clay tile, concrete pipe, septic and storage tanks, vaults, and voids. It is also the instrument that shows what is NOT on any map, since it images whatever is down there rather than only the lines someone thought to record.

Oklahoma One Call (Okie811) (811) requires 48 hours of advance notice before any excavation in Oklahoma. That notification is free and it is separate from ground penetrating radar: it brings out the member facility owners to mark the lines they own, and stops at the meter or the right-of-way. Wait for every member to respond before ground is opened.
Locating is quoted per job rather than off a rate card, because the work is a search and a search scales with the site rather than with the clock. On a Owasso job, the things that move the number are how much ground has to be covered, how many targets are in play, whether there are meters, valves, risers, or panels a transmitter can be clipped to, what the lines are made of, what the local ground (clay, sandy loam, red clay) does to the instruments, and whether you need surface marks or a record you keep.
