When excavating in flowable fill trenches, is it difficult to locate existing utilities without damage?

When flowable fill is designed correctly, utilities which are not encased are easier to find. Dirt is not a stable material, especially when wet, and when excavation causes it to move it can result in damage to utilities that are not well encased.
