Work on the contract began in late November. The unit-price pipeline location contract covers El Paso Energy’s service territory, which follows the Rio Grande Valley for approximately 70 miles and includes parts of Texas and New Mexico.

Geospatial has also recently entered into separate contracts with Qwest Corporation and Xcel Energy Services Inc. to provide utility locating services throughout the state of New Mexico.

Geospatial’s Chief Executive Officer Mark A. Smith said “In the past several weeks, USCC has announced multi-year contracts with Qwest Communications, Excel Energy and now El Paso Electric. I believe that we have reached a tipping point in our market penetration and we are looking to rapidly expand these relationships across the USA.”
