Surface Detection Makes Buried Plastic Infrastructure Visible

Gwil Solutions provides a major breakthrough in utility safety with the Underground Utility Damage Prevention System (UDPS), designed to eliminate the guesswork of excavation.

  • White check in a black circle

    See the Invisible: Detect and locate buried plastic (PVC, PE, and HDPE) and metallic pipes that traditional locators miss.

  • White check in a black circle

    Precision Engineering: Locate subsurface materials from the surface with improved accuracy and repeatability.

  • White check in a black circle

    Field-Ready Design: A lightweight, 2.5 lb handheld device built for immediate use by construction and utility crews.

  • White check in a black circle

    Data-Driven Safety: Automatically capture and upload up to 20,000 data samples to track and verify site safety.

Stop Digging in the Dark. We provide the visibility you need to protect your crew and your bottom line.

Locate the Infrastructure Others Miss

Modern underground plumbing is a complex mix of metallic and non-metallic materials. While traditional detection equipment identifies metal, it is often blind to the plastic infrastructure that keeps sites running.

We specialize in locating subsurface materials that were previously difficult or impossible to detect, including:

  • Checkmark inside a circle icon

    PVC: Drainage, irrigation, and electrical conduit

  • Checkmark inside a circle icon

    PE & HDPE: Gas lines, water supply, and sewer applications

  • Checkmark inside a circle icon

    CPVC & PEX: Hot and cold water supply lines

  • Checkmark inside a circle icon

    ABS: Drains, vents, and outdoor piping

Whether it is a pressurized gas line or an empty PVC irrigation pipe, our system helps provide greater visibility before excavation begins.

Advanced Electrostatic Detection

The UDPS utilizes proprietary methods for detecting electrostatic charges associated with underground non-metallic pipes. We have engineered this system to support safer excavation by identifying infrastructure that traditional locators simply cannot see.

Reliable PVC Detection

Easily locate PVC irrigation pipes and electrical conduits.

Empty Pipe Location

Our system effectively identifies empty white PVC pipes buried deep in the earth.

Field-Ready Precision

We designed the UDPS for the rigors of the jobsite. It is a sophisticated tool built for construction crews, utility teams, and site supervisors who require accuracy without complexity.
