Power cable corridors
Trace conductive cables with active and passive electromagnetic methods where conditions allow.
Cable locating
Cable strikes create safety risk, outages, and project shutdowns. HR Utilities locates underground power and communications cables before excavation, drilling, saw cutting, and civil works.
Our team uses BYDA records, electromagnetic induction, GPR, and survey control to locate cable routes and prepare AS5488-ready documentation for Melbourne and Victorian projects.
BYDA records help identify asset-owner infrastructure, but project teams still find private cables, altered routes, and congested corridors on site.
HR Utilities checks the ground before your crew opens it. We locate cable paths, mark them clearly, and provide mapped data when the project needs more than paint on the surface.
Book cable locating before work reaches any service corridor, switchboard feed, communications route, or private utility run.
Trace conductive cables with active and passive electromagnetic methods where conditions allow.
Investigate telecommunications routes and conduits before trenching, pit works, or service upgrades.
Scan beyond BYDA records when older sites or private assets may not appear on authority plans.
Survey detected cable positions into CAD or GIS for design review and construction planning.
HR Utilities matches detection methods to cable type, access, depth, and site constraints.
Review BYDA plans, site drawings, pits, conduits, switchboards, and visible assets.
Use electromagnetic induction to trace conductive cables and passive signals.
Use GPR to investigate service corridors and non-metallic conduits where EMI alone is not enough.
Mark cable paths and record depth indicators where site conditions allow.
Survey and document the findings for AS5488-ready project records.
Yes. Private cables may not appear on BYDA records, so HR Utilities uses field detection methods and visible site evidence to investigate likely routes.
Yes. HR Utilities investigates communications conduits and cable routes with EMI, GPR, and survey methods suited to the site.
Yes. HR Utilities works across Melbourne, Geelong, wider Victoria, and Western Australia.
