ABOUT US
Experience
Since 1979, ATS has specialized in computerized underground leak detection, utility location, and mapping. In 1991, ATS became Radiodetection’s exclusive representatives for the municipal public works field, marketing their technology and providing operator training. Whether pinpointing a utility, mapping a university or industrial campus, or locating an entire city's utility network, ATS has been consistently successful. Our Field Technicians are skilled in mapping communication, electric, gas, sewer, and water lines as routine applications.
Equipment
We use the best performing location equipment available at any price. Schonstedt GA-92XTd Series Locators are used to pinpoint the location of buried underground valve covers, manholes, B-Boxes, and other Ferrous metals. These appurtenances are used to attach our signal transmitters and are the cornerstones of a successful line location survey. To locate and trace underground utilities of all types, we use Radiodetection RD8100, RD8200, RD7200, and RD7100 Series Location Equipment and components. These precision Radiodetection instruments, coupled with High Power Transmitters, allow our skilled staff to trace layouts of communication lines, electric, gas, sewer, water & other types of utility lines in even the most congested areas with the reliability our customers know and trust.
Guarantee
ATS does not guarantee the location or accurate pinpointing of a utility line or lines. ATS does assure that a best effort in that regard will be put forward. Since 1979, ATS has earned its standing as one of the most innovative and successful leak location firms in America.
We have conducted hundreds of leak surveys in cities of all sizes, ages and make-ups, all across the Midwest region alone. Many of these cities have had experience with other leak survey firms in addition to ATS. In every one of those cities, ATS has never found less than 2 to 10 times more leakage than the competitor’s survey that preceded the ATS Survey in the same town.
Keep in mind that there are really two-dollar amounts to consider during your evaluation process
One is the contract price to hire a professional leak survey firm. The second, and ultimately more significant figure is the total amount of leakage that the surveyor will discover and its value. What did you get in return for your money Actual track records prove that any initial savings in a competitor’s low price will be offset many times over by the superior results of an ATS Comprehensive Leak Survey Program.
We have the ability and necessary experience to provide you with the underground utility line location information that you need. We electronically trace out the layout of the underground water main, sewer, light cable, electric, gas and any other utilities that you request. Field Pickup / Topography measurements will be made by your land surveyors.
