Whether you're in the design phase or already breaking ground, Blood Hound is the trusted partner for reliable subsurface data across Central Texas.
Blood Hound Services Offered in Austin
Private Utility Locating
811 services don’t cover privately owned underground lines — which can lead to major risk and liability. Blood Hound identifies hidden infrastructure such as:
- Irrigation systems
- Parking lot and site lighting
- Propane and fuel storage tanks
- Secondary electrical and communication lines
Using advanced electromagnetic locating equipment and ground-penetrating radar (GPR), our technicians deliver highly accurate results—helping prevent dangerous strikes, service interruptions, and costly project delays.
Geospatial Services
Our geospatial mapping services give Austin clients a clearer view of what’s above and below ground. Using drone-based imaging, LiDAR, and subcentimeter GPS, we create high-resolution maps that integrate with GIS and CAD systems.
Benefits of geospatial mapping include:
- Faster project planning and approvals
- Lower risk of infrastructure conflicts
- Better long-term asset management
- Reduced rework and construction delays
Whether for design validation or ongoing infrastructure maintenance, our maps offer clarity and confidence.
Robotic Camera Inspection
Blood Hound uses robotic crawler cameras to perform non-invasive inspections of sewer lines and underground utilities. This service allows teams to:
- Detect cracks, corrosion, and obstructions
- Identify specific problem areas without excavation
- Save time and money on diagnostics and repair
- Improve jobsite safety by minimizing guesswork
Our inspection reports include high-resolution video and documentation to support informed decision-making.
Vacuum Excavation
Our vacuum excavation services offer a low-impact, non-destructive solution for exposing underground utilities. Using both wet and dry vac excavation, we support:
- Design-phase utility verification
- Safe excavation near sensitive assets
- Emergency response and spot-checks
This method reduces the chance of utility strikes, limits surface disruption, and helps protect public and worker safety.
Concrete Scanning
Cutting or coring into concrete without knowing what’s inside is risky. Our GPR concrete scanning services help locate:
- Post-tension cables
- Reinforcing steel (rebar)
- Electrical and plumbing conduits
- Voids and structural supports
We help clients avoid damage, maintain compliance, and ensure safety across construction sites, commercial buildings, hospitals, and more.
