Utilities Locating Services for Sydney

Utilities Locating

Utility locating is a two-step process, employing both radio detection and GPR.


GPR Scanning Australia performs a variety of ground-based applications which include detecting gas, water, electrical, cable, and fibre optics lines and wires prior to excavation or building.


We may scan the desired area with radar and/or utilise radio detection equipment on the job site prior to digging. Our goal is to identify the type and location of these utilities in order to prevent damage to them and the surrounding environment as well as protect your workers on the job site.
