ClearPath FAQ
What exactly is ClearPath Advantage?
ClearPath Advantage is a proactive support service from Mason Private Locating designed to keep fiber construction projects moving safely and efficiently. Our expert locating crews stay ahead of boring contractors, ensuring a clear, marked path and a complete understanding of what lies beneath, before the first bore begins.
How does ClearPath stay ahead of our boring contractors?
ClearPath Ops is built around continuous forward coverage. We visit sites ahead of boring crews for pre-bore site assessments, then complete EM and GPR locating and marking on each segment before your contractors arrive. Real-time communication keeps your project managers and boring crews in sync so there's never a lag between locate completion and crew movement.
What methods does ClearPath use to locate utilities?
ClearPath uses both electromagnetic (EM) scanning and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) on every locate. EM scanning detects conductive utilities like electric, gas, and communication lines. GPR identifies non-metallic utilities, storage tanks, and other subsurface anomalies that EM alone won't find. Both methods are used together on every segment — no exceptions.
Can ClearPath help if we experience a utility strike or 811 delay mid-project?
Yes. Step 5 of the ClearPath Ops process is specifically dedicated to on-demand damage and support. The MPL team can assist with 811-related damages, delayed locates, and other utility coordination challenges that arise during the project — minimizing disruption and getting your boring crew back to work as quickly as possible.
What does "continuous coverage" mean in practice?
Continuous coverage means ClearPath locating crews stay ahead of your boring contractors from the project's first bore to its last. Unlike a one-time or on-call locate service, ClearPath maintains a forward buffer throughout the entire project — every new segment your boring crew reaches has already been fully located, marked, and cleared.
What kind of documentation and deliverables does ClearPath provide?
ClearPath provides all deliverables as needed to keep your team in the loop — in real time as work is completed. This includes field locate documentation, site sketches, photographs, and GPR data, all communicated directly to your project management team. Mason's industry-leading deliverable format compiles everything into a single accessible digital link per segment.
