Introducing a smarter way to verify what's in the ground — RM Locating® from APS. 🛠️
As-built drawings don't always tell the full story. Utilities shift, records get outdated, and discrepancies between documented and actual utility locations can create serious problems on a project. RM Locating® provides a permanent, verifiable record of underground utilities — double-checking against as-built data, assisting survey crews, and giving project teams a reliable reference they can trust.
It's one more way Applied Professional Services goes beyond standard locating to deliver the accuracy and accountability that civil engineers, designers, and contractors need. Serving Washington and Oregon since 1996.
Call us today to learn more about RM Locating® and how it can benefit your next project.

When you need to know exactly what's underground — and where — there's no room for guesswork. 📡
Applied Professional Services offers both Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and air vacuum excavation potholing to give your team the most accurate subsurface data possible. GPR identifies buried objects, storage tanks, AC and PVC water lines, and sewer laterals without breaking ground. Potholing confirms exact depth, utility type, size, and road surface thickness when you need visual verification.
Together, these services give engineers, contractors, and geotechnical firms the confidence to design and build with precision. Serving Washington and Oregon since 1996 — now part of the T2 Utility Engineers family.

With the evolution of technology, the landscape of utility detection has transformed dramatically. Gone are the days when technicians could easily locate metallic pipes with basic tools. Now, with the rise of non-metallic utilities like fiber optics and plastics, detection methods need to be refined.

The increased complexity of underground environments, coupled with congested rights-of-way and innovative construction techniques such as directional drilling, means that utility detection is more challenging than ever. This shift necessitates not just advanced equipment, but also well-trained technicians who can navigate these intricate systems effectively. Today, utility detection is increasingly recognized as an art form, blending technical expertise with creative problem-solving. As we adapt to these changes, the ability to accurately detect and manage underground utilities becomes essential for safety and efficiency in any construction or maintenance project. How are you adapting to these shifts in utility management?
