Frequently Asked Questions

Locate Down Under FAQ's

What type of sites do you service?

We service a wide range of projects including residential properties, commercial developments, infrastructure projects, and rail corridors. From small homeowner jobs to major civil works, Locate Down Under tailors its services to suit your needs.

How quickly can you attend my site?

We pride ourselves on prompt and reliable service. In most cases, we can attend your site within 24 to 48 hours, depending on location and availability. For urgent requests, give us a call and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.

How accurate are your locating services?

Our locating equipment and techniques are industry-leading, with accuracy typically within a few centimetres depending on conditions. Combine that with our experienced team, and you get results you can trust.

Do I still need to contact Dial Before You Dig?

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.

How do cable locating services differ from pipe locating?

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.

Why should I choose Locate Down Under for pipe locating services?

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.
