Utility locating and mapping across Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour and the Mid North Coast. No job too small. No project too large. From small contractors to major infrastructure.
The Mid North Coast runs from Taree and Forster through Port Macquarie to Coffs Harbour on coastal sands, estuary flats and acid sulfate soils, with the Pacific Highway and the North Coast rail line as its spine. The Coffs Harbour bypass is the largest current project, the Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour hospital precincts and the growth areas at Thrumster and Sawtell are steady work, and the coastal towns carry shallow, corroded drainage networks in sandy ground with a high water table.
Essential Energy supplies the electricity, and each council supplies its own water, sewer and stormwater: MidCoast Council around Taree and Forster, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and Coffs Harbour City Council. Reticulated gas is limited. The Pacific Highway is Transport for NSW ground and the rail line is ARTC. Sand is good for radar until the water table and the salt shorten its reach, so we pothole where the design needs a proven depth.
The same accredited crew and AS 5488-2022 report across Mid North Coast 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.
The councils: MidCoast Council around Taree and Forster, Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and Coffs Harbour City Council, each with its own plans and standard. Essential Energy owns the electricity network.
Yes. The bypass and the Pacific Highway corridor are Transport for NSW ground, and we locate and survey for the contractors and designers under its accreditation and SUI specification.
Not for the locate itself, but they corrode older steel and cast iron services and the wet ground shortens the radar reach, so EM tracing and potholing carry more of the work on the estuary flats.
In runs along the coast so several sites share one mobilisation, with urgent jobs mobilised individually. Send the addresses and we will group them.
Send us the site and program. We come back with a same-day quote and deliverables to suit.
