Electromagnetic Cable & Pipe Locating
We use professional electromagnetic (EMF) locating equipment to identify and trace underground electrical cables, telecommunications cables, metallic pipes and other conductive services before excavation.
Using specialised transmitters and receivers, we can trace underground services and estimate their depth to help reduce the risk of costly damage during excavation.
For non-conductive pipes and conduits, we can also use specialised trace rods to locate services that cannot be detected directly using conventional electromagnetic locating equipment.
Ground Penetrating Radar
We use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to investigate underground services and identify potential buried pipes, cables, conduits and other subsurface features.
GPR is particularly useful for locating non-metallic services, such as PVC water pipes and drainage lines, that may not be detectable using conventional electromagnetic locating equipment.
By combining GPR scanning with electromagnetic locating methods, we can provide a more comprehensive underground investigation, helping reduce the risk of damaging buried services during excavation.
GPR results depend on ground conditions, depth and the materials being investigated.
