Experts in Underground Cable & Utility Locating
We specialise in locating underground services across Melbourne and regional Victoria. Our role is to help you find, trace and mark utilities so excavation and construction works can proceed safely and efficiently.
As Telstra-accredited copper and fibre optic locators, we use dedicated transmitting equipment to track live telecommunications networks without interrupting service. Where non-conductive pipes are present (such as PVC or concrete), we can insert a fibreglass tracer rod or Sonde to carry our locating signal, allowing us to confirm alignment and depth.
Our goal is to provide clear, on-site information so you know exactly where your critical assets are before you dig, drive piles or undertake any intrusive work.
Cable & Utility Locating Equipment
We use a suite of specialised locating instruments to provide accurate results on-site, including multi-frequency receivers and accessories for difficult-to-trace services.
- Radio-detection underground pipe and cable locators
- Sondes and tracer wire for non-conductive assets
- Transponder locator with multiple frequencies
- Fault-finding equipment for damaged cables
- Ground penetrating radar (GPR) for subsurface mapping
We work to QL-B and AS 5488 “Classification of Subsurface Utility Information”. Where required, we can coordinate additional services such as potholing, non-destructive excavation, concrete cutting, traffic management and surveying (additional costs apply).
Our Fees
- Our standard fee covers travel (within agreed zones) and up to one hour on site for locating services.
- Where you have not already obtained the latest CERTLOC Plans, we can obtain the latest plans (less than 30 days old) as part of our service.
- Additional time on site, after-hours work and regional travel are quoted case-by-case.
We accept major credit and debit cards as well as EFT. 24/7 service is available, with fees adjusted for after-hours or urgent call-outs.
