Deep understanding of Adelaide infrastructure, council requirements, and regional utility networks.
Adelaide's built-up streets, footpaths, car parks, and tight construction sites make Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) the backbone of professional underground utility detection. GPR images non-metallic services that electromagnetic locators cannot trace — plastic water mains, sewer lines, conduits — while electromagnetic induction picks up metal assets such as gas and copper telecom. Our Adelaide team runs both together on every urban site.
Every project starts with a Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) records review. On site, our NULCA-certified technicians locate water, sewer, gas, power, telecom, and stormwater services, mark them on the ground, and document positions to AS5488 with depth estimates. Survey-ready plans in CAD or GIS are available where your project needs them for design or handover.
As a guide, combined GPR and EMI field locate pricing in Australian metro areas runs roughly $600–$1,200 per crew day, with small single-service locates from around $350 — Adelaide projects are quoted fixed after a site scope review, generally within one business day. Response times depend on site access and the number of services involved; urgent call-outs are available for live excavation works.

Yes. GPR images through asphalt, concrete slabs, and the sandy clay soils common across Adelaide, identifying plastic and concrete services that electromagnetic locators miss. For the best coverage on urban sites we always combine GPR with electromagnetic induction, so metallic and non-metallic utilities are both traced before excavation.
Water and sewer mains, gas pipelines, electrical cables and conduits, telecommunications and fibre optic infrastructure, and stormwater drainage. Records from utility owners are reviewed first through Before You Dig Australia, then field verification confirms what is actually in the ground.
Yes. Located services are marked on site and documented to Australian Standard AS5488 with depth estimates and quality levels, and survey-ready plans can be delivered in CAD or GIS formats for construction and design teams.
