Water and gas pipe routes
Trace conductive services with electromagnetic induction and record the alignment for site planning.
Pipe locating
Unknown pipe routes create risk for excavation, drainage works, service upgrades, and site investigations. HR Utilities locates buried pipes and records the results for site teams, engineers, and asset owners.
We combine GPR, electromagnetic induction, traceable methods, CCTV inspection, and survey control to investigate metallic and non-metallic pipes across Melbourne, Geelong, Victoria, and Western Australia.
A drawing may show a main line but miss private extensions, abandoned runs, stormwater changes, or undocumented drainage. Once excavation starts, those gaps turn into delays.
HR Utilities helps your team find pipe routes before work reaches them. Our technicians choose the right detection method for the pipe material, access point, ground condition, and project risk.
These are common reasons contractors, engineers, and property teams call HR Utilities.
Trace conductive services with electromagnetic induction and record the alignment for site planning.
Use CCTV inspection where access points allow a direct view of pipes, blockages, leaks, and structural issues.
Use GPR or traceable insertion methods when the pipe does not provide a conductive signal path.
Map detected pipes into CAD or GIS so designers can check clashes before construction.
Pipe material, access, and depth guide the method. HR Utilities scopes each site before field work starts.
Review available plans, BYDA responses, and visible pits, valves, drains, and surface features.
Choose GPR, EMI, CCTV, or traceable insertion based on the service type.
Scan or trace the pipe route and mark field findings for site crews.
Survey the detected alignment where the project requires mapped output.
Deliver plans, reports, and notes that show method, confidence, and limitations.
Yes, depending on ground conditions and pipe characteristics. HR Utilities uses GPR for non-metallic services and traceable methods where access allows.
Use pipe locating when you need position and alignment. Use CCTV when you need a visual condition check inside a pipe or drain. Many projects need both.
Yes. HR Utilities can survey pipe alignments and deliver CAD, GIS, PDF, or 3D outputs for design and construction teams.
