About

First Alert Locating Ltd provides professional, precise and complete locating services. Our clients can proceed with their projects – in confidence and safety.

Marty and Jamie Andersen’s initial objective with First Alert was to deliver highly accurate locates for all types of projects. They established their head office in Grande Prairie, Alberta, so they could concentrate their services in Northern and Central Alberta and British Columbia. To date, however, First Alert has completed projects as far away as Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut and internationally in Ecuador. In 2011, First Alert established branch a office in Whitecourt, Alberta to help alleviate costs for their clients. 

Accurate locating,one call management and ground disturbance witnessing are the main services provided. We work to ensure due diligence and assist in the prevention of line strikes. First Alert’s particular scanning techniques and procedures have been fine tuned over the years by their team of professionals to prevent as many incidents as possible. Collectively we have over 150 years of experience and our crews withstand constant quality assurance to ensure we are providing top notch services for the industry! For the past 8 years we have deployed drones to assist us in our mapping and photography of remote sites. We have recently (Aug 2024) been certified as an Alternative Locate Provider for Utility Safety Partners for Northern Alberta.
