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.
