Underground Utility Locating Services in Cincinnati
Blood Hound is equipped to support a wide range of construction, engineering, municipal, and environmental projects. Our technicians use leading subsurface technologies and proven field practices to help clients understand existing conditions before excavation begins.
Private Utility Locating
Blood Hound locates private underground utilities that 811 services do not mark. Our team identifies buried power lines, water and sewer systems, gas lines, telecommunications, irrigation lines, and other subsurface assets to help you avoid damage during excavation.
Geospatial Services
Our geospatial mapping services provide underground and aboveground infrastructure nondestructive imaging to identify nonmetallic utilities, voids, underground tanks, structural elements, and unknown anomalies. Our Cincinnati team delivers real time visuals that support accurate planning and safe digging. We provide collected data and imagery in the following formats:
Aerial Imagery Formats
- 2D Orthomosaic
- 3D models
- Lidar
- Therman
GIS/CAD
- AutoCAD (.dwg/.dxf, .csv, .pdf)
- All standard GIS formats (.shp, .kml, .GeoJSON, etc.)
- Bentley (.dgn)
Blood Hound employs traditional GNSS equipment and Vivax-Metrotech RTK-Pro units to collect data and imagery and deploys large-scale commercial drones to generate orthoimagery, lidar, and thermal imaging.
Robotic Camera Inspection
Blood Hound uses robotic camera systems to inspect storm, sanitary, and industrial pipelines. CCTV inspection identifies blockages, defects, infiltration issues, and other conditions that affect system performance and long term reliability.
Leak Detection
Our team uses advanced acoustic and correlating technology to locate leaks in buried water lines, irrigation systems, and other subsurface infrastructure, helping to reduce water loss and avoid structural damage.
The Safest Approach to Cutting or Coring Concrete
Concrete surfaces frequently conceal critical infrastructure such as electrical conduits, plumbing lines, fiber optic cables, and embedded reinforcement like rebar or tensioned cables. Blood Hound uses advanced ground penetrating radar, GPR, technology to detect these hidden elements within walls, floors, and slabs. This detailed subsurface insight helps prevent accidental damage, costly delays, and unnecessary risk to your crews.
Our vehicle mounted GPR array also allows for rapid, large scale concrete scanning, providing accurate data collection even at highway speeds.
