Working in Central Coast

What the ground is like, and who owns what.

The Central Coast sits between the Hawkesbury sandstone plateau and the coast, with Gosford, Erina and Terrigal on sandstone and sandy soils and the Tuggerah Lakes and Wyong flats on low-lying alluvium with a high water table. Radar reads well on the plateau and shorter in the wet lowlands; the lakeside suburbs carry shallow stormwater and sewer networks that flood and corrode, which is where much of the drainage investigation work comes from.

Electricity is Ausgrid, water and sewer are Central Coast Council rather than Sydney Water, gas is Jemena in the serviced areas and stormwater belongs to the council. The M1 Pacific Motorway, the Pacific Highway and the Main North rail line are Transport for NSW corridors, and the Gosford hospital and CBD renewal, the Warnervale and Wyong growth areas and the steady coastal rebuilds are the typical jobs. The Coast is about an hour from our Lindfield office up the M1.

FAQ

Utility locating in Central Coast: common questions.

Who supplies water and sewer on the Central Coast?

Central Coast Council, through its own water and sewer business. Its plans and standards differ from Sydney Water's and our surveys are delivered to its requirements.

Is the ground good for radar on the Coast?

On the sandstone around Gosford, Erina and the Peninsula, yes. In the low wet ground around the Tuggerah Lakes and Wyong the water table shortens the radar reach, so EM tracing and potholing carry more of the locate.

Do you investigate drainage around the Tuggerah Lakes?

Yes. CCTV inspection, connectivity mapping and condition reporting of the lakeside stormwater networks is regular work for council and private clients.

How quickly can you get to Gosford or Wyong?

The Central Coast is around an hour from our Lindfield office via the M1, and standard jobs are usually scheduled within a few business days, with 24/7 emergency call-outs.
