Why Precision Tech
The difference between a mark on the ground and information you can plan around
Anybody can put paint on the ground. What matters is whether the information is documented, whether its limits are stated, and whether the person who produced it can be relied on when the excavator arrives.
Our mission
Careful, documented subsurface utility locating that lets clients understand the conditions in their work area and make informed decisions.
Precision Tech provides private utility locating, subsurface utility mapping and field documentation for commercial, industrial, institutional and infrastructure projects across the GTA, Golden Horseshoe and across Ontario — reviewing the records, working the agreed area with the methods that suit the conditions, and reporting what was found alongside what was not.
We take responsibility for accurately marking the utilities identified within the agreed scope and clearly documenting any limitations or unresolved findings.
What you get when you hire us
Crews qualified for the work
Crew certifications include DPT100, DPT200, Working at Heights, First Aid & CPR, Manhole Entry and Confined Space. What a specific task requires is confirmed when the scope is agreed.
The right method for the conditions
Electromagnetic locating and GPR each see different things. We use what the site conditions and the agreed scope actually call for — and say so when a method is not suitable.
Scope agreed before we start
We review the proposed work area, available records and access conditions to agree a practical utility investigation scope.
Specialist entry treated as specialist work
Confined space and manhole entry is accepted only when the task, access, personnel qualifications, equipment, procedures, required permits and safety and rescue arrangements are confirmed.
Reporting that records its own limits
Reports set out the methods used, the areas covered, what was detected, and what could not be detected or confirmed.
Responsive communication
Direct contact with the people doing the work, and professional service from first call to final deliverable.
Access and safety are part of the scope, not an afterthought
A lot of utility work happens where access is the hazard — inside manholes, in confined spaces, at height, on live sites with traffic and heavy equipment moving. Those tasks are scoped on their own terms: the task, the access, the personnel qualifications, the equipment, the procedures, the required permits and the safety and rescue arrangements all have to be confirmed before the work is accepted and scheduled.

Confined space entry procedures
Entry work carried out under an agreed procedure, with the required permits and rescue arrangements in place for that task.
Manhole entry operations
Structures opened, inspected and documented under the arrangements agreed for the specific task, rather than assumed.
Damage prevention
Utility conflict identification and practical risk mitigation planned into the work, not discovered on site.
Professionalism on live sites
Coordination with other trades and site management so locating work does not become someone else's delay.
Reporting, mapping and deliverables
The locating is only half the service. What you are left with — a report, a drawing, digital files — is what your design team works from and your contractor plans around. We produce reporting, mapping and digital documentation as a standard part of the work, with the methods used and the areas covered set out alongside the findings.
Working with your project team
Your engineers, contractors and project managers get direct communication with the people doing the work, coordination around your schedule, and a fast response when something changes. Professional engineering work stays with your engineer — we supply the field information they ask for.
If a utility cannot be detected or confirmed, you will hear that plainly — including what would be needed to confirm it.
Values
Safety
Crews work to recognized entry and working-at-heights procedures, and work is scoped to the qualifications and equipment it requires.
Accuracy
Instrument-derived positions and depths are reported as estimates — not best guesses from a drawing, and not presented as certainty.
Integrity
We report what was found, including what could not be detected or confirmed.
Practical technology
Electromagnetic locating and GPR used where the conditions suit them and the agreed scope includes them.
Professionalism
Documented work, clear reporting and communication you can rely on.
Client Focus
Responsive service shaped around your schedule and your project team.
