Frequently Asked Questions

What is service locating?

Service locating is the process of identifying underground utilities such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, telecommunications, sewer and stormwater services before excavation or construction work begins. It helps reduce the risk of asset strikes, delays and unsafe digging.

Do I need DBYD / BYDA before excavation?

Yes, DBYD / BYDA (Before You Dig Australia) information is an important first step before excavation, but plans may not always show the exact position or depth of services on site. Professional service locating helps interpret this information and verify likely utility locations before ground disturbance.

What utilities can be located?

Common utilities include electrical cables, telecommunications, gas, water, sewer, stormwater, conduits and other buried infrastructure. The exact result depends on site conditions, service material, access, available plans and the locating method used.

When is GPR used for service locating?

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) is useful when extra subsurface information is needed, especially for non-conductive services, unknown structures, complex sites or areas where electromagnetic locating alone may not be enough. It can support safer decision-making before excavation.

What is service proving or potholing?

Service proving, also called potholing, is the physical verification of an underground utility’s position and depth. It is usually completed with non-destructive excavation and is often used when accurate confirmation is needed before digging near critical services.
