Property-Wide Utility Locating & Mapping for Olalla Properties

How it works on a Olalla site

Property utility mapping near Banner Road typically produces three things: site plan of private utilities with, marked lines on the ground, and depth estimates. To get them we gather at waterfront properties on Colvos Passage, assess through outwash that drains and hides leaks, and mark before the site is handed back.

For waterfront properties on Colvos Passage in Olalla the deliverable is site plan of private utilities with, and getting there means we gather with the system pressurized, assess where outwash that drains and hides leaks allows, and mark with the site secured near Banner Road. Residents and tenants are told what's happening and when.

What's under Olalla's larger sites

Olalla's larger water users are farms and campgrounds on wells with long poly lines across pastures, where a leak shows as a pump that never stops and a green stripe in August. Around Olalla Valley Road the property utility mapping work we do most often is on waterfront properties on Colvos Passage, and peat in the Olalla Creek valley decides how the excavation goes.

From there it's a correlator across a long pasture run and a ground microphone at the break.

Farms and agricultural operations and RV and campground facilities in Olalla share the same vulnerability: a private system in peat in the Olalla Creek valley with no drawing and a master meter that only reports totals. Property utility mapping turns that into marked lines on the ground and a located problem near Colvos Passage.

One crew, start to finish

Managers of RV and campground facilities in Olalla use us for property utility mapping because one crew does the locate, the excavation in bluff clay on Colvos Passage, the repair and the restoration, and because we answer at night. About forty minutes down Highway 16, so an emergency near Olalla Bay doesn't wait for a crew from across the Sound.
