Property-Wide Utility Locating & Mapping in Kingston, step by step

For RV and mobile home parks on the north end in Kingston the deliverable is site plan of private utilities with, and getting there means we mark with the system pressurized, trace where roots and the odd boulder off Miller Bay Road allows, and assess with the site secured near Lindvog Road. Residents and tenants are told what's happening and when.

When a reserve study that needs a water system at condo complexes near the ferry, the job is the same shape every time: mark, trace, assess. What changes in Kingston is the ground, roots and the odd boulder off Miller Bay Road, and the access across Lindvog Road. What doesn't change is that nothing gets dug until it's located.

What's under Kingston's larger sites

Kingston's commercial core is small and ferry-driven, with condo and senior housing near the terminal on Kitsap PUD master meters and long private mains out to the parks on the north end. For property utility mapping that means starting at the master meter, tracing before digging, and expecting outwash near Appletree Cove under RV and mobile home parks on the north end.

Near the ferry terminal the lots are small and the lines are old.

We've done property utility mapping on marina and waterfront facilities on Appletree Cove near Miller Bay Road where the only sign was a new owner or manager taking over a, and on RV and mobile home parks on the north end by Highway 104 where a property with recurring 'where is the shutoff' had gone on for a season. Outwash near Appletree Cove hid both until we trace.

One crew, start to finish

Managers of retail along Highway 104 in Kingston use us for property utility mapping because one crew does the locate, the excavation in beach deposits along the cove, the repair and the restoration, and because we answer at night. Up Highway 3 and across on 104, so an emergency near the ferry terminal doesn't wait for a crew from across the Sound.
