The Beginning
The initial objective of Marty and Jamie Andersen was to deliver highly accurate locates for all types of projects. They established their head office in Grande Prairie to concentrate their services in Northern and Central Alberta and British Columbia but with time, set up another branch office in Whitecourt to help alleviate costs for their clients. In 2016, a second branch office was also established in Dawson Creek to serve our clients better. As well as 2018 in Rimbey and Sylvan Lake.
Our Work Priorities
The technical team at First Alert Locating Ltd is committed to achieving complete client satisfaction while promoting safety measures and awareness. We ensure to adhere to damage prevention protocols to minimize potential hazards that pose a threat to our workers during the ground disturbance projects. When such rules are abided by, it reassures the AER, WCB and OH&S governing departments that all efforts have been made to minimize any potential work environment threats. We have also maintained working relationships with the local Indigenous communities.
