Underground Services Locating

EMI is a valuable tool for detecting metallic or conductive underground services. When used in conjunction with our vacuum excavation units, we can accurately locate your services, assets and cables and then undertake targeted non-destructively digging to confirm the results.

Electro-Magnetic Induction (EMI) technology

We proudly provide our clients with the solutions to protect underground assets, by supplying underground services locating, mapping and non-destructive excavation services. Our clients include ‘blue chip’ private companies and federal, state and local government organisations, with which we predominantly undertake civil infrastructure projects and building works. We can the confirm and validate the located services using vacuum excavation so that we won’t damage any underground infrastructure.

Through Earth Radar, we offer a range of scanning technologies including Electro-Magnetic Induction (EMI), 2D and 3D Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and advanced surveying methods to ensure complete and accurate gathering of subsurface information.

Underground Services Location

Knowing exactly where various utilities lie beneath the surface is vital to ensure design, construction or maintenance can be completed safely and productively without unnecessary delays. Impacting and damaging pipes or cables can result in serious repair and insurance costs. If you have a project that requires underground service detection or mapping, through our Earth Radar team, we have the knowledge, experience and equipment to assist you with your underground service location needs. Following this our vacuum excavation trucks can pothole and confirm the services at important locations.

Sparas™

Latro™

Earth Radar’s Latro™ 3D GPR is a push-cart system designed for detailed scanning of road corridors, footpaths, fields and pavements to survey grade accuracy. The larger Sparas™ 3D GPR system enables traffic-speed scanning of road and airport pavements and other large paved surfaces. Both systems employ a sophisticated Australian-developed Noise-Modulated GPR (NM-GPR) approach to provide superior collection speed, penetration depth and data quality over conventional technologies, enabling far more complete site coverage and practical field operation.

Earth Radar’s experienced underground service location technicians are also trained and qualified in detecting cables, utilities, voids, pipes, conduit, and underground objects using conventional 2D GPR together with EMI techniques.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

The safety of our locators and operators is at the forefront of our business. We ensure that no matter where our team are working we are able to communicate and locate them with GPS monitoring systems. This is vital to our remote work where other forms of communication may not work. As our underground service locators are called to a range of jobs from the inner city to the remote parts of the west this technology ensures whether they’re alone or in a team we always have their back.

Health and safety

We’re here to assist clients of all shapes and sizes throughout many areas of Australia, including Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Gladstone and more. For additional information, call us on 1300 822 834 now to speak with one of our friendly staff members.
