Michael Grear Surveys Underground Service Locating provides expert underground service locating services across Adelaide and South Australia.
Before any excavation work begins, it is essential to consult with an experienced underground service locator. Michael Grear Surveys Underground Service Locating utilizes a combination of electromagnetic, rodding, and high-frequency induction methods to gather precise information about underground and subsurface features.
In addition to electromagnetic methods, we also use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology. GPR is a non-invasive, effective method for detecting and mapping underground structures, utilities, and voids. It works by sending high-frequency radar waves into the ground and analyzing the reflected signals to create images of subsurface conditions. This advanced technology allows us to identify features such as pipes, cables, concrete structures, and even geological anomalies that may not be detectable with traditional locating methods. Soil types and the method of burial of services can impact its effectiveness.
As a CERTLOC Certified Organisation, Michael Grear Surveys Underground Service Locating ensures that all work is performed to the highest standards of safety and industry standard accuracy.
By using electromagnetic technology in combination with GPR, we have the tools available to locate underground cables, pipes, and other infrastructure. This proactive approach helps to prevent accidental damage to underground services and utilities, minimizing costs and disruptions during construction and design projects.
Whether you are planning a small renovation or a large-scale construction project, trust Michael Grear Surveys Underground Service Locating for reliable and precise underground service detection.
What can be expected when using Michael Grear Surveys Underground Service Locator?
Accurately locating and marking buried assets saves time, money and assists with design. Radiodetection (RD7100/7000) Locators use magnetic fields and radio frequency to assist with the location of buried utilities.
