Precision Utility Detection for Wingecarribee Shire
From Bowral and Mittagong to Moss Vale, Bundanoon and Robertson, Highlands sites bring unique challenges—tree roots, shale/clay soils, long rural driveways, and BAL (bushfire) requirements.
Dowd’s Pipe & Cable Locating delivers fast, accurate pipe locating to keep your excavation, trenching and landscaping on schedule and compliant with Wingecarribee Shire Council requirements.
Why Professional Locating Matters in the Highlands
A single strike can shut down works and damage assets in remote or semi-rural blocks. Our non-invasive approach provides exact information on:
- Depth, direction and offsets for services on acreage and village lots
- Water, sewer and stormwater including older clay PVC transitions
- Gas and communications (Jemena Gas Networks, NBN/Telstra)
- Legacy farm lines and redundant services common on lifestyle properties
Specialised Locating Solutions
We mark mains and services around new builds in Renwick and renovations in Burradoo, reducing rupture risk before trenching or piering.
Gas Line Locating
Track hidden leaks under long rural driveways in Exeter or beneath extensions in Bowral. We target the leak to minimise restoration costs.
Water Leak & Line Locating
Pre-excavation mapping for additions, pools and retaining walls—complete with depths/grades to streamline engineering and approvals.
Sewer & Stormwater Locating
Methods & Equipment
- Electromagnetic locators (direct connect/induction)
- Acoustic leak detectors suited to quiet Highlands streetscapes
- Sonde tracing through access points to follow non-metallic lines
- Mark-out plans tailored for builders and plumbers
