Yes. Dial Before You Dig provides plans from utility asset owners, but it doesn’t show the exact location of services on your specific site. Our team complements this by physically locating and marking the services using advanced tools.
While pipe locating focuses on detecting water, gas, and sewer lines, cable locating is used to trace electrical and telecommunications cables. Our team uses advanced electromagnetic locating technology to safely identify both live and de-energised cables on-site.
With over a decade of experience, Locate Down Under combines expert technicians with the latest detection equipment to accurately identify the location and depth of underground pipes. This prevents accidental damage and costly delays during excavation or construction.
