At Dowd’s Pipe and Cable Locating, we specialise in providing professional utility locating services to a wide range of industries across Wollongong, Sydney, the Illawarra, the South Coast, and the Southern Highlands. Our service area includes Nowra, Campbelltown, Moss Vale, Bowral, Vincentia, Ulladulla, and Sydney Metro — wherever underground assets need to be identified safely and accurately.

Whether you’re a homeowner, builder, or commercial contractor, you can rely on our accredited team to locate underground pipes, cables, and utilities with precision. With decades of hands-on experience and up-to-date industry training, we’re committed to keeping your site, your people, and your property safe before any digging begins.

Why Utility Locating Matters

Digging without knowing what’s beneath the surface can lead to serious consequences — from damaging water mains, electrical conduits, and telecommunication lines to causing costly project delays or even injury. That’s why hiring a professional utility locator before excavation is not just best practice; it’s essential for safety and compliance.

As a locally owned and operated business, we pride ourselves on delivering accurate results, quality workmanship, and genuine customer service. Our reputation has been built on integrity and reliability — we follow strict safety standards, use the latest locating technology, and never cut corners. When you work with Dowd’s Pipe and Cable Locating, you can be confident your project is in safe hands.
