BYDA certified underground utility locators using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic methods to help prevent utility strikes and keep projects moving safely.
Our locating approach combines electromagnetic induction for conductive services and GPR for non-metallic assets, aligned with Australian Standard AS5488.
Before You Dig Australia clearance and safe work methods to reduce risk.
GPR, EMI, passive detection and GPS support for accurate field marks.
On-site marking with professional reporting and mapping options.
HR Utilities is the sister company of HR Surveyors. For over a decade, we’ve delivered precise, compliant utility locating services and subsurface mapping solutions. Our workflows align with AS5488 and BYDA processes to support safe construction and maintenance.
They use electromagnetic locating (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to detect and mark the position of buried services like power, gas, water, comms and drainage before excavation.
Accuracy depends on method and conditions. AS5488 quality levels apply: geophysics is typically QL‑B, while vacuum exposure (QL‑A) confirms precise depth and attributes.
Yes. Before You Dig Australia plans provide owner records that our team verifies on site. We align locating with BYDA and AS5488 requirements.
Yes, often with GPR or tracer wire insertion. Plastic or concrete pipes without conductors may require proving to reach AS5488 QL‑A.
