Pipe Locating Services
Pipe locating pinpoints underground water, sewer and stormwater lines using electromagnetic detection. This service supports excavation safety, infrastructure planning and asset maintenance in civil, industrial and residential projects.
Cable Locating
Cable locating identifies the location of live and de-energised electrical cables, communications lines and fibre optics. It’s a key step in preventing damage during construction, digging and trenching work.
Thermal Camera Imaging
Thermal imaging detects heat differences in surfaces to identify insulation voids, electrical faults and water ingress. This non-destructive method supports diagnostic inspections for maintenance and problem-solving.
Ground Penetrating Radar
Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys subsurface layers to detect utilities, voids and changes in material composition. It’s suitable for roads, slabs and natural surfaces, supporting planning and excavation accuracy.
Water Leak Detection
Water leak detection involves acoustic, thermal and radar methods to trace hidden leaks in underground pipe systems. Early identification prevents costly water damage and supports effective infrastructure repairs.
CCTV Pipe Inspections
CCTV pipe inspections provide high-resolution video footage of internal pipe conditions. This method identifies blockages, structural issues and defects in stormwater and sewer networks without requiring excavation.
Concrete Scanning
Concrete scanning uses non-invasive ground-penetrating radar to map rebar, conduits, post-tension cables, and voids. This process helps avoid structural damage and supports safe drilling and cutting in concrete slabs.
