Trenching and service installation
Locate existing services before new trenches cross unknown or congested corridors.
Before excavation
A pre-start meeting cannot remove underground risk if the site team still relies on old plans. HR Utilities locates services before trenching, drilling, piling, and civil works reach them.
We use BYDA records, GPR, electromagnetic induction, and survey control to give project teams a clearer map of what sits below the work zone.
Construction teams often receive utility records late, in PDF form, or without enough field confirmation. That leaves supervisors making safety decisions with unclear data.
HR Utilities investigates the work zone before ground disturbance starts. We mark detected services, map them when required, and document the confidence level so crews know what they can rely on.
Underground locating should happen before the work creates a safety or programme risk.
Locate existing services before new trenches cross unknown or congested corridors.
Check utility routes before deep works, anchor points, or bore paths enter a service zone.
Map utilities for road upgrades, subdivisions, drainage works, and civil infrastructure projects.
Use field detection when BYDA records, private asset plans, or as-builts do not match site conditions.
HR Utilities gives your team a clear investigation path before machinery enters the ground.
Review scope, work zone, BYDA records, and available as-builts.
Inspect visible service indicators such as pits, valves, drains, poles, and surface changes.
Use EMI and GPR to detect conductive and non-conductive services.
Mark findings on site and record depth indicators where conditions allow.
Provide mapped deliverables and AS5488 quality notes where the project requires them.
Yes. BYDA plans are the starting point. Field locating checks what is in the ground now and helps identify missing, altered, or private services.
Book locating early enough to change the work plan if needed. For active construction, refresh the locate when markings, site conditions, or work scope change.
Yes. Contact the team with the work location, excavation date, service risk, and required deliverables so HR Utilities can confirm availability.
