Certified Underground Detection
and Mapping for Safe Excavation
What’s Underground in Sydney? Why You Must Locate Before You Dig
Sydney’s subsurface is dense with power cables, gas lines, water mains, and fibre optics. Damaging any of these can halt your project, cause injury, or lead to fines. Locate & Map delivers certified utility locating using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic (EM) Induction. Our team accurately identifies buried assets across residential, commercial, and civil sites. Every project is handled by CertLoc-accredited technicians in accordance with AS-5488. Before the first cut, trench, or bore, professional locating ensures clarity and control.

What GPR and EM Technology Detect on Sydney Sites
Locate & Map uses two primary technologies to ensure complete underground visibility. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) locates both metallic and non-metallic services, including PVC water pipes and voids. Electromagnetic (EM) locating is effective for conductive services such as live power, comms, and metallic pipelines. Used together, these tools provide accurate, non-invasive detection. Our specialists are trained to interpret subsurface data precisely and apply findings on-site or in digital models. This approach supports safe planning, prevents asset strikes, and satisfies compliance requirements on every job.
