Copperhead Industries

Copperhead Industries produces a unified system for detecting and marking underground utility lines, branded as the Complete Utility Locating System. The system is organized around five sequential steps: Conduct (tracer wire), Connect (locking connectors), Ground (magnesium ground rods), Access (access points for signal connection), and Locate (receivers and marker posts). Their copper-clad steel tracer wire carries a low-voltage electrical current from a transmitter so that utility locators can trace buried lines from the surface. All components, including connectors, ground rods, access points, and marker posts, meet Build America, Buy America (BABA) compliance requirements and are manufactured in the United States. The company also offers Service Ready Kits that bundle tracer wire, connectors, and ground rods for common installation scenarios, and the VUE Virtual Utility Environment, an interactive digital tool for visualizing locating system deployments. Copperhead serves gas and propane distribution, telecommunications fiber-optic networks, municipal water and sewer, and OEM custom-product applications. While specific founding year and headquarters are not published on their site, their Facebook presence references Minnesota. The product line is sold through distribution channels with no direct pricing listed.
