Center Line Locating

Charlotte, NC-based underground utility locating company serving NC, SC & the Southeast. Accuracy over speed. Verification over assumption. Est. 2015.

Defensible data your projects can trust. www.cllocating.com

Built on a Simple Premise.

Every company has a reason it started. Ours was frustration — and a commitment to do better.

Center Line Locating was founded in 2015 with a simple premise: the construction industry deserves better underground utility data.

Too many projects were being delayed, budgets overrun, and safety compromised by incomplete or inaccurate utility information.

We set out to build a company that prioritizes accuracy over speed, verification over assumption, and documentation over promises. Every project we take on reflects our commitment to providing defensible data that our clients can trust.

Today we serve developers, engineers, contractors, municipalities, and property owners across North Carolina, South Carolina, and the broader Southeast region.

Woman-owned. HUB Certified. City of Charlotte W/SBE. NASSCO Certified.

The Real Cost of a Utility Strike

Without having both public and private utilities identified, there is an increased risk of damage to underground infrastructure that can delay your project, blow your budget, or cause serious safety incidents.

That's not our language. That's the reality we work to prevent every day.

When an underground utility gets hit during excavation, the consequences stack up fast:
— Emergency repair costs billed to the contractor
— Project shutdown while repairs are made
— Safety incidents that put workers at risk
— Schedule penalties on tight-deadline projects
— Liability exposure that follows the project team

811 covers public utilities in the Right of Way. It doesn't cover private utilities running to your site — and those are exactly the lines most at risk during excavation.

Center Line Locating marks utilities inside and outside of the job site — including private water lines, gas services, telecom, and abandoned infrastructure that 811 doesn't cover.

We respond fast, mark accurately, and document everything so you can dig with confidence.

Don't guess. Locate. Protect.

811 Marks Public Utilities. That's Not Enough.

Calling 811 before you dig is required. But it only covers part of what's in the ground.

Public 811 utility locators mark public utilities within the public utility Right of Way.

Center Line Locating marks utilities inside and outside of the job site — including private water lines, gas services, telecom, and abandoned infrastructure that 811 doesn't cover and your equipment operator doesn't see coming.

Without having both public and private utilities identified, there is an increased risk of damage to underground infrastructure that can delay your project, blow your budget, or cause serious safety incidents.

We serve developers, engineers, contractors, municipalities, and property owners across North Carolina, South Carolina, and the broader Southeast region.

Did you know the soil in the Carolinas can significantly limit GPR performance? 🌱
Dense clay soils and high moisture — common across Charlotte and the region — absorb radar energy, reduce signal depth, and create false reflections that make interpretation challenging.
That's why our crews rely on electromagnetic locating and vacuum excavation to deliver field-verified utility data you can actually build from.
We just published a full breakdown explaining why soil conditions matter and what a complete utility investigation looks like here in the Carolinas. Check it out at the link below

Precision Where It Matters: Hydro Excavation Done Right

Open trenching is fast — until it hits a live water main, a gas line, or a fiber bundle. Then it stops being fast, and starts being expensive.
