Advanced Utility Locating for Complex, Congested, or High-Risk Sites
Geotrace Australia delivers specialised utility locating services for environments where traditional detection methods fall short. Whether you’re dealing with congested urban infrastructure, unusual materials, or critical infrastructure corridors, we use cutting-edge technologies and expert methodologies to accurately locate what others can’t.
What Is Specialised Locating?
Specialised locating goes beyond standard electromagnetic (EMF) techniques. It involves:
- Multi-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
- Passive & active signal tracing
- Inductive locating for non-conductive assets
- Sonde locating (tracer balls or sondes in conduits)
- Utility mapping with GIS integration
- Integration with CCTV pipe inspections and potholing
This advanced approach is essential when:
- Utility records are unclear or conflicting
- Pipes are plastic, fibre, or clay
- You’re in a highly congested CBD or brownfield site
- Accuracy is critical to project planning or safety
What Can We Locate?
- Electrical and communication cables
- Water, sewer, and stormwater pipes
- Gas mains and service lines
- Non-metallic services (PVC, fibre optics)
- Abandoned or undocumented assets
- Subsurface anomalies, voids, or tanks
