What We Offer in Sydney
We work on residential, commercial, government, and civil projects across the Greater Sydney area, offering services that include:
Underground
Utility Locating
Underground utility locating services help you to locate buried pipes, cables, gas and water lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications lines, before excavation or construction work. This is crucial to prevent damage to essential services and avoid expensive repairs, service disruptions, or safety hazards.
Concrete Scanning / Rebar
& Conduit Detection
Concrete scanning uses GPR to locate and map embedded objects like rebar, conduit, and post-tension cables in concrete. This non-destructive process is essential for the safety of everyone working on your Sydney project, as well as avoiding damage to infrastructure, machinery, or personnel during activities like coring, drilling, or cutting in concrete. Concrete scanning and rebar or conduit detection allow you to plan for the safety of your team, protection of machinery, and the structural integrity of the project.
Utility Mapping &
CAD Plan Integration
Utility mapping and CAD plan integration aims to prevent damage to utilities and ensure regulatory compliance while improving safety and preventing damage to utilities. We accurately locate and document underground utilities and integrate this data into computer-aided design (CAD) plans for more efficient project design, planning, and construction.
CCTV Pipe Inspection / Drain
Surveys
We provide comprehensive CCTV pipe inspections for pipe and cable locating and drain surveys. This gives us real-time visual data to help diagnose issues like blockages, cracks, pipe misalignments, root intrusion, or structural damage. We can then recommend appropriate repairs and assess the overall health of the drainage infrastructure for more efficient planning of your project.
Emergency or
Same-Day Locates
We know that even with the best of planning, sometimes mistakes happen, and we’ll be there to support you with emergency and same-day locates. Our team is available 7 days a week and can respond to urgent calls. We also provide services as an on-call locating service for time-sensitive work.

The safety and security of your team is paramount, and having accurate data about your site ensures you remain safety compliant and conduct your work safely and securely.
