Utility Locating and 

Mapping services

From domestic construction to large scale industrial applications, an accurately surveyed and mapped site minimises damages and delays for aboveground installation and underground works.

Locate & Map provide a seamless integrated service including the initial surveying and locating of services, structures, and assets, combined with expert drafting in 12d®, AutoCAD® , and our 3D Utility Mapping services.

Our professional personnel appreciate that timing is everything when it comes to surveying. An efficient effective service can mean the difference between a well planned and executed project, and a project that is plagued with delays. Whether you require a simple plan prior to commencing a domestic project, or complex multi-stage verifications, at Locate & Map we have you covered.

What We Do

01

Utility Location Services

At Locate & Map we work with you to deliver a tailored project package that will minimise downtime and damage, and maximise profitability. From fibre optic cables to reflective high pressure oil and gas pipes, our team are experienced in locating and identifying the full range of subsurface utilities. Using electromagnetic induction and ground penetrating radar, Locate & Map will pinpoint and accurately trace utilities for your residential, commercial and industrial projects. Combined with our seasoned drafting services, you will receive comprehensive location and mapping support.

Locate & Map are certified to locate the following services;

  • Fibre optic cables

  • High pressure oil & gas pipes

  • Water and sewage pipes

  • Gas piping

  • Electrical and telephone cabling

  • High Voltage cabling

02

Professional Drafting

Our dedicated team of experts provide end-to-end drafting services from pre-project planning and surveying to delivering high quality and accurate as-built drawings for you and your client’s records.

 

Locate & Map’s drafting team work hand in hand with our surveyors and assessors to locate and map subsurface services and structures, providing peace of mind for the execution of any excavation or penetration works. Our experienced team of drafters work closely with engineers and project managers throughout the process to ensure your plans are current and accurate throughout the lifecycle of your works.

At Locate & Map we are experienced with both 12d® and AutoCAD®. This software pair allows us to create detailed accurate map of subsurface utilities means that you have clear guidelines for trenching and excavation, reducing the need for manual service location and reducing the risks of earthworks in complex and diverse environments.

03

3D Modelling

3D utility modelling allows designers, engineers, and project managers to accurately conceptualise and map existing services, and make informed and cost effective decisions when planning a project requiring penetration or excavation of the ground.

 

The team at Locate and Map will work with you throughout your design and earthworks phases to ensure that your proposed digging neither interrupts, nor damages existing subsurface assets.

 

This is even more important on large scale civil and construction projects where coordination of new utility installation between trades and discovery of existing services is crucial to the successful and profitable delivery of your project's scope of works.

 

Our interactive 3D Utility modelling results in a complex and comprehensive visual model, which means each project stakeholder remains informed and up-to-date when it comes to your project.

04

Ground Penetrating Radar

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) delivers fast and versatile identification of underground assets and services. This non-destructive process uses geophysical methodology to map variations in reflected radar pulses, and is not reliant on metal detection to locate services. This method provides a much richer picture of the subsoil, including not only buried services and structures, but also indicating voids, cracks, and variations in soil density or composition. Using GPR, Locate & Map will quickly and accurately provide imaging of the subsurface for your residential, commercial and industrial projects.

Combined with our seasoned drafting services, you will receive comprehensive location and mapping support.

Ground Penetrating Radar has many applications including;

  • Detection of underground services including; Fibre optic cables, High pressure oil & gas pipes, Water and sewage pipes, Gas piping, Electrical and telephone cabling, High Voltage cabling

  • Location of underground structures such as storage tanks, concrete slabs,

  • Identification of soil composition to predict scale of work required to trench or excavate

05

Concrete Scanning

A comprehensive concrete scanning service allowing project engineers and designers to identify frameworks, supports and services in concrete structures. In order to make informed, safe, and profitable decisions when planning projects requiring cutting, coring or drilling into concrete, it is crucial to prepare a detailed assessment of the structure prior to penetration. Using subsurface imaging techniques including GPR, the team at Locate & Map can precisely identify any material variation in concrete slabs and structures. That means not only do you know where existing supports and services are, you can also identify the quality and integrity to best plan your drilling, cutting or coring.

Combined with our experienced drafting services, the team at Locate & Map collaborate with you to provide the best in location and mapping support.

Concrete scanning identifies frameworks, services and supports including;

  • Rebar and steel mesh

  • Pipes and cables

  • Post / Pre tension cables

  • Optimal Core drilling position

  • Conduits and electrical wiring

  • Structural integrity including voids, cracks and deterioration

06

Pipe & Cable Locating

Locate & Map understand the costs and frustrations associated with project delays and damages as a result of an undisclosed subsurface pipe or cable.
