Utility Locating Services in the Central Coast You Can Trust
Why Utility Locating Is Critical in the Central Coast
The Central Coast has a mix of older infrastructure, new developments, coastal conditions, and varying soil types. Many underground services are undocumented, privately installed, or inaccurately shown on plans. Excavating without proper locating increases the risk of striking power cables, gas lines, water pipes, and communications infrastructure.
In Australia, WHS regulations require underground services to be identified before excavation, and Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) provides essential asset information as part of this process.
Services We Offer on the Central Coast
Ground Penetrating Radar Services
Ground penetrating radar is used to locate non-metallic underground services such as PVC pipes, concrete drainage, electrical conduits, and unknown subsurface objects. This method is highly effective when service plans are missing or unreliable. GPR scanning is also commonly used before excavation and drilling to identify potential hazards below ground level.
Concrete Scanning Services
Concrete scanning services are essential before cutting, coring, or drilling into concrete slabs and walls. This service identifies embedded services such as conduits, post tension cables, and reinforcement steel, helping prevent structural damage and safety incidents during construction works.
CCTV Pipe Inspection
CCTV pipe inspection allows us to locate and assess sewer and stormwater drainage systems from the inside. This service is ideal for identifying pipe routes, detecting blockages, and confirming pipe condition before repairs, renovations, or excavation works begin.
Mud Mapping Services
Mud mapping services provide a visual record of underground utilities by marking and photographing services during excavation. This is especially valuable for civil projects and asset owners who require accurate documentation of underground infrastructure for ongoing maintenance and future development.
Our services are designed to accurately identify underground assets, reduce risk, and prevent costly service damage.
