SERVICES.
full utility mapping surveys
Using Electromagnetic and Ground Penetrating Radar techniques we can accurately mark out the locations and depths of all underground utilities and features.
All located underground services can be accurately plotted onto Auto-Cad and OSI Maps for the production of “As Built” Drawings using our GPS system.
drainage mapping surveys
Using numerous techniques and technologies we can accurately plot the location of all existing sewers onto Topographical or Ordnance survey plans. This will include Depths, Sizes, Materials and condition of each Manhole, and any potential contamination issues.
Upon request we can also include Manhole Survey Cards, CCTV Surveys and perform Man Entry if required.
ground penetrating radar
(GPR) is a geophysical method that uses radar pulses to image the subsurface. This non-destructive method uses UHF/VHF frequencies of the radio spectrum, and detects the reflected signals from subsurface structures. GPR can be used in a variety of media, including rock, soil, ice, fresh water, pavements and structures. It can detect objects, changes in material, and voids and cracks.
leak detection service
If you suspect that your water consumption/water bill to be high we can audit your supply and give you a breakdown of your consumption and advise if you have a leak. We can then provide you with a follow on leak detection service at very competitive rate.
concrete slab scanning
If you’re planning on cutting or drilling into a slab, carrying out a comprehensive concrete scan can help eliminate the risk of damage or injury from striking an embedded object or service. Concrete scanning using GPR and electromagnetic devices can help you identify any post tension cables, steel, rebar or services that might lie within the concrete structure.
If you want to protect workers and fulfill your duty of care in eliminating risks in the workplace then scanning the concrete before beginning any planned works is the way to do it. The cost of having concrete slab scanning done far outweighs the cost of repairing a damaged service or the structural integrity of a suspended slab level.
cable & pipe locating
Cable locating is the process of determining the location of an underground cables using geophysical detection methods such as electromagnetic tracing, underground service locating or Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) prior to a digging activity such as mechanical excavation and drilling or designing and planning for these types of excavation works.
The most common way to locate an underground or embedded cable, whether it be an electricity cable, Telstra copper, RMS traffic cables or signals cable on the on railway would be to use electromagnetic induction principles.
