End-to-End Underground Locating & Scanning Services

Elite Pipe & Cable Locating Pty Ltd delivers comprehensive underground utility detection and surface scanning services to safeguard your excavation, development, or installation works. Using state-of-the-art tools and grounded industry experience, we provide accurate and timely results to help you dig with confidence.

Whether you’re a council planning park upgrades, a builder laying foundations, or a tradie needing help before cutting into concrete—we’ve got the tools, the expertise, and the reliability to get it done right.

Utility Locating (GPR & Electromagnetic Equipment)

Our primary service involves locating underground utilities using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Field (EMF) technology. We accurately trace:

  • Electrical conduits (live or de-energised)
  • Gas and water mains
  • Sewer and stormwater lines
  • Fibre optic and telecommunication lines (Telstra/NBN)
  • Irrigation pipes and buried metallic objects

We mark all services using industry colour codes and confirm each locate with DBYD plan comparisons. For projects with tight tolerances or unclear records, our locating ensures safety and compliance.

Concrete Scanning Before Cutting or Drilling

Before you cut, core, or drill through slabs, we scan the concrete using high-frequency radar. Our concrete scanning service detects:

  • Post-tension cables
  • Reinforcing steel (rebar)
  • Electrical conduits
  • Structural anomalies or voids

This service is essential for both commercial and residential construction to avoid damaging live power or compromising slab integrity.

CCTV Pipe Inspections

Using a flexible push rod camera, we inspect the internal condition of pipes and drains. This non-invasive inspection is perfect for:

  • Diagnosing blocked or collapsed pipes
  • Detecting tree root intrusions
  • Verifying stormwater flow issues
  • Locating inspection points in hard-to-reach areas

We can provide clients with clear video documentation and notes for reporting or repair planning.
