About Us

GeoSearch Services uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Induction (EM) equipment to perform private utility locating and investigation services for a wide array of applications: environmental, structural and civil engineering, geology and geotechnical, cemetery and gravesite mapping, forensic science, mining and mineral exploration and agriculture.
GeoSearch Services was founded by Brent Baumann, a Geologist with over 20 years of combined experience in different geological disciplines. Mr. Baumann has worked primarily in the environmental and geotechnical industries as well as in both open pit and underground mines, gaining invaluable experience in sub-surface investigation and rock and soil characteristics and mechanics.  He brings this experience, together with his experience in telecom utility locating, to offer professional GPR and utility locating services to the Rocky Mountain NW.
As a project geologist on numerous drilling, earth work and environmental reclamation projects, Mr. Baumann has relied on public and private utility locating companies to locate utilities, including high pressure oil and gas transmission pipelines.  Mr. Baumann has observed firsthand the pressure public utility locators are under to perform their task and move to the next locate. 
Additionally, traditional pipe and cable EM locators:
  • Cannot detect non-metallic piping or non-conductive lines
  • Have difficulty locating fiber optic cables
  • Are not reliable at sites where there are too many utilities or where multiple lines are laid next to one another
  • Can be easily affected by background signal interference
  • The target signal can often "bleed" onto non-target lines
  • Cannot detect other buried utilities or structures
