Excavation planning
Investigate private utility routes in and around the area where trenching, grading, or digging is planned.
For contractors
Bring better utility awareness into the work plan.
Mark It Private Locating works with contractors to investigate private underground infrastructure within defined project areas before excavation or construction begins.
Project planning
Public markings may be only one part of site preparation.
Contractors often work on sites where private lines connect buildings, equipment, lighting, irrigation, or other property systems. Those lines may fall outside the standard public utility notification process.
Share the planned excavation, access needs, and available site information so our team can focus the investigation on the work being performed.
Standard markings may not show every private line.
The 811 process coordinates participating utility owners, while property-owned infrastructure may require a private utility locate.
Common project contexts
Support the decisions made before ground disturbance.
Private locating adds site information that can inform coordination without replacing required public notifications or project-specific safety practices.
Construction coordination
Give project contacts a clearer basis for conversations about existing property infrastructure.
Renovation & additions
Investigate areas where new work may approach lines serving existing structures or site features.
A focused request
Share the site, the work area, and what is being planned.
Project details help our team focus the investigation on the right area. Access conditions and available site information can also shape the visit.
Based in Central Indiana, we work throughout the state and travel for select regional and national projects when scope and schedule align.
