Utility locating, survey and non-destructive excavation across Canterbury-Bankstown, supporting dense residential renewal, industrial sites and road projects. No job too small. No project too large. From small contractors to major infrastructure.
Canterbury-Bankstown is being rebuilt along two corridors: the Sydney Metro conversion of the Bankstown rail line through Campsie, Belmore, Lakemba, Punchbowl and Bankstown, and the Canterbury Road and Cooks River renewal. The Bankstown CBD, the hospital precinct and Bankstown Airport each hold dense networks, and the industrial estates around Milperra, Chullora and Villawood carry decades of private services, pipelines and old tank sites that predate the plans.
The ground is shale and clay with alluvium along the Cooks and Georges rivers, so electromagnetic tracing and potholing do most of the work and radar is reserved for the sandy river flats and concrete scanning. Ausgrid supplies the electricity across most of the area, with Endeavour Energy taking over at its western boundary, Sydney Water supplies the water and sewer, Jemena the gas and Canterbury-Bankstown Council the stormwater.
The same accredited crew and AS 5488-2022 report across Canterbury-Bankstown and NSW, whether it's a single locate or a tier-one program.
Detection, tracing and marking of underground services using electromagnetic and ground-penetrating radar, to the accuracy each site demands.
Engineering-grade utility survey and drafting to AS 5488-2022, delivering 12D/DWG models, BIM-ready 3D strings and GDA2020 deliverables.
Safe vacuum potholing to positively identify services and achieve the highest Quality Level (QL-A), without damaging the asset.
GPR concrete imaging before cutting, coring or drilling. Locates rebar, post-tension cables, conduits and voids. Radiation-free, no site shutdown.
Push-rod and crawler camera inspection, connectivity mapping and condition reporting for pipes up to 2 m in diameter.
USTs, concrete substructures, voids and rock seams, plus unmarked-grave, forensic and archaeological investigations.
Ausgrid across most of the area. Endeavour Energy's network begins at the western boundary, so a Before You Dig Australia enquiry near Villawood or Bass Hill can return plans from either, and we read both before the locate.
Yes. The corridor is Transport for NSW ground and our locators and surveyors hold the accreditation and Rail Industry Worker cards for it.
Yes. Private pipelines, abandoned tanks and buried footings on industrial land are mapped with radar, EM and survey and reported to AS 5488-2022 for the environmental consultant and the designer.
It limits ground penetrating radar, so we rely on electromagnetic tracing for conductive services, sondes for drains and vacuum excavation to QL-A where the design needs a proven depth.
Send us the site and program. We come back with a same-day quote and deliverables to suit.
