Utility, Pipe and Cable Locator Services in Wattle Grove
SubSurface Detection use the latest locator technology to identify and locate underground utilities, with no destruction to the work area of an engineering project. Our range of locators includes Concrete Penetrating Radars (CPR), Ground Penetrating Radars (GPR) and Electromagnetic Pipe Locators (EML). Once the surveys are completed, we detail the location and depth of all services. This is marked on the ground and also as reports if required, including utility mapping surveys.

Concrete Penetrating Radar (CPR) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
CPR is the non-destructive inspection of concrete structures, including in ceilings, columns, walls and floors. This way, we can accurately locate the entry and exits points of valuable structural assets, to avoid damaging them. Our services include finding pre-stressed and post-tension cables and their depth, the condition and depth of rebar, and the thickness and depth of concrete slabs. GPR uses radio waves to collect SubSurface data of up to 25 metres in depth, to construct 2D or 3D views of the SubSurface. This locates underground anomalies such as building foundations, electrical conduits, pipes, wells, soak-wells, leach drains, septic tanks, contamination plumes, gravesites and voids.
Electromagnetic Pipe and Cable Locators (EML)
EML identifies and maps the depth of hidden metal objects, such as pipes, utility cables, and transponders.
EML uses electromagnetic technology with a separate transmitter and receiver. The transmitter emits a radio wave to induce secondary electromagnetic fields in nearby metallic objects, which is separately recorded by the receiver. This ensures accuracy and provides a good depth of range, so EML can be used to clear drilling and excavation sites.
