Temecula has come a long way in the past 30 years or so. Back in the day, it was a sleepy small town with not much going on. But all of that changed in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, when housing tracts seemed to spring up almost overnight, and shopping centers, schools, and stoplights began to be built at what seemed like a record pace. The population of Temecula went from just over 27,000 in 1990 to 90,000 in 2005. Today, the population stands at around 112,000, but new apartment complexes are still being constructed within the city limits, so that number is expected to increase.
With constant construction and development projects happening throughout the city of Temecula, there is a high demand for GPR scanning services, like the ones provided by Enhanced Scanning. As a local company, we have GPR technicians who can be on site quickly if needed and provide property owners, civil engineers, developers, and general contractors with the information they need to safely proceed with the projects they have planned.
Not all GPR scanning services in Temecula are created equal! First of all, you have the free 8-1-1 program, which allows property owners to call the number and have someone come out to scan for buried public utility lines. Now, it’s great that such a service exists. It can help prevent accidents such as hitting buried power, gas, or sewer lines when excavating on a property. Unfortunately, this service isn’t perfect. The biggest complaint about the 8-1-1 program is that it can take several weeks for someone to come out and scan the property. Then, once they make it out, they will only scan for public utility lines. If you have other buried hazards, or if you plan to disturb the ground in areas that are beyond your utility meters, the 8-1-1 technician cannot help you. In addition, the 8-1-1 service technician likely won’t be able to tell you how deeply utility lines are buried.
There are also utility locators who only have one type of scanning equipment available to them. This might be fine for some scanning jobs, but others require more than one tool to get a complete picture of what is buried on a piece of property. Plastic water lines can be particularly challenging to find if someone is only using an electromagnetic (EM) locator, for example.
For thorough scanning services in Temecula, look for a company like Enhanced Scanning that can provide scanning services using ground penetrating radar (GPR), as well as use other non-destructive tools when needed. Our highly trained technicians are trained and equipped to take on any type of job—from scanning the ground at a private residence to scanning the concrete at a commercial site to locate utility lines and other embedded items. They work efficiently and provide you with the accurate results you need.
