Utility Mapping Subcontracts

We are Australia’s go-to utility mapping subcontractors. We use advanced utility survey technologies to reduce or eliminate the risk associated with working around underground services, cables and utilities.

By using the latest in underground pipe location and cable locator devices combined with (non-destructive) hydro vacuum excavation techniques, VAC Group offers a complete underground utility locator and mapping service throughout Australia.

Our highly experienced, competent and accredited locating staff uses a robust methodology for utility detection and mapping services, and safe exposure of cables and all other types of underground utilities.

We have invested in the very latest ground penetrating radar (GPR), GPS, Survey and Electro-Magnetic Induction (EMI) technology.

All works are carried out in accordance with Australian Standard AS5488-2013 and completed by DBYD Certified locators. 

Knowing the location, depths and routes of existing pipes, cables and other buried infrastructure is a principal requirement for those engaged in feasibility studies, design, construction and asset maintenance.

As experienced utility mapping and detection specialists, we reduce the uncertainty associated with the reliance on old, incomplete, missing, ambiguous or unavailable utility data, by locating underground services to a high degree of accuracy through the use of electromagnetic locating techniques, 2-D ground penetrating radar and vacuum excavation.

We undertake projects ranging from locating single utilities for connection or maintenance purposes, to comprehensive borehole clearance surveys and utility asset mapping for industry and construction.

The benefits include:

• Identification of routes, types and depths of buried services,
• Allows for the identification of potential conflicts enabling effective planning & design,
• Reduces the costs associated with the digging of speculative trial holes, and
• Mitigates the potential for cable strikes and damage to third party services.

Utility Mapping Subcontractors Offering Precise Utility Locating Services for All Purposes

In many parts of the world today Laser scanning systems is the referred Survey Methodology for utility surveying and mapping of all projects. VAC Group team has incorporated Lidar into many of its projects for the locating, mapping and protection of underground assets.

Utilising Lidar, VAC Group can quickly complete dilapidation utility surveys for high-risk projects. Lidar provides a complete 3-dimensional picture of the site before major project works begin. In addition, VAC Group utilizes Lidar to map underground facilities in complete detail and combines the point cloud data in new innovative 3D augmented reality delivery formats to assist its clients to make informed decisions.

The advantages of rapid, cost effective, high accuracy survey point data collection has propelled Lidar to one of the most cost effective geospatial tools today. Integrating Lidar with 3D modelled utilities is an integral part of the future for subsurface utility surveying and mapping, - all provided by VAC Group for the benefit of our clients.
