Conduit locating in Dorval for warehouses, plants and logistics terminals
Dorval's logistics and industrial sites, near the airport, are crossed by power, telecom, lighting and fire protection conduits. Before a new loading dock, a truck yard extension or the installation of charging stations, we locate these conduits with ground penetrating radar and radio detection, then deliver a plan with estimated depths within 24 hours.

A territory shaped by the airport and industrial parks
Dorval is home to a large part of Montréal-Trudeau International Airport (1). Around it, two industrial areas share the activity: Dorval–Transcanadienne, about 2.7 km², and Dorval–Côte-de-Liesse, about 2.5 km², according to the industrial park directory (2)(3). They contain warehouses, distribution centres and production buildings that have often been expanded or repurposed.
On these sites, each construction phase added its own conduits, rarely brought together on a single plan. Public utilities stop at the property line; everything that serves the site beyond it is the operator's responsibility.
Conduits we locate on a logistics site
- Power for loading docks, motorized doors and chargers
- Yard and parking lot lighting
- Telecom conduits between buildings and to the gatehouses
- Private fire protection lines
Working without shutting down the site
A truck yard cannot close for long. We plan the survey by zones, in coordination with the site manager, to keep access open. The paths are painted on the ground and the PDF report is then used by the engineer and the contractor.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work in the airport zone? Sites located on airport land have their own access requirements. Give us the address; we check the conditions before confirming the job.
Can you tell an abandoned conduit from an active one? Radio detection follows an active or accessible conduit more easily. A conduit with no signal is flagged as such in the report, for verification by the electrician.
