Utility locating, concrete scanning and CCTV drainage across the Inner West, from Leichhardt and Marrickville renovations to warehouse conversions and civil works. No job too small. No project too large. From small contractors to major infrastructure.
The Inner West is old ground. Leichhardt, Marrickville, Newtown and Balmain were built out by the early 1900s on brick sewers, cast iron water mains and tram-era power runs, and much of what is under the street today has been replaced, abandoned or rerouted at least once without the plan catching up. The former industrial land along the Parramatta River and the Cooks River carries fill, buried footings and old tanks under the warehouse conversions and apartment sites that replace it.
WestConnex and the Rozelle Interchange moved services across Haberfield, Rozelle and St Peters; the Sydney Metro conversion of the Bankstown line through Marrickville and Dulwich Hill and the Inner West light rail add Transport for NSW corridors. Ausgrid supplies the electricity, Sydney Water the water and sewer, Jemena the gas and the Inner West and Canada Bay councils the stormwater. Ground is shale and clay with sand along the rivers.
The same accredited crew and AS 5488-2022 report across Inner West 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.
LCG Architects, the group's residential design practice, works across the Inner West on additions, dual occupancies and granny flats, and starts from the same locate and survey our crews deliver here, so the services are on the plans before the DA goes in.
Because the plans were drawn for the original network and many services have been relined, abandoned or moved since. Abandoned cast iron and brick lines still show on radar and EM, so the field locate and a CCTV trace are the only way to know which line is live.
Yes. Underground storage tanks, old slabs and footings and filled cellars are mapped by radar and EM and surveyed onto the plan for the environmental consultant and the demolition contractor.
Yes. Our crews hold the Transport for NSW accreditation and work under the corridor and tunnel-site permit conditions across Rozelle, Haberfield, St Peters and the Bankstown line.
Ausgrid for electricity, Sydney Water for water and sewer, Jemena for gas, Telstra and NBN Co for communications and Inner West or Canada Bay council for stormwater.
