Utility locating and drainage investigation across the Northern Beaches, from Manly and Dee Why to Brookvale industrial and coastal residential builds. No job too small. No project too large. From small contractors to major infrastructure.
The Northern Beaches run from Manly to Palm Beach on sand, sandstone and the low-lying flats around Narrabeen Lagoon, Dee Why and Warriewood, with the Brookvale and Cromer industrial areas and the Frenchs Forest hospital precinct inland. Sandy ground is excellent for ground penetrating radar but holds a high water table, so stormwater and sewer lines sit shallow and corrode, and coastal properties often have unrecorded drainage to the beach or lagoon.
Ausgrid supplies the electricity, Sydney Water the water and sewer, including the Northern Beaches sewerage scheme with its ocean outfalls, and the Northern Beaches Council the stormwater. Pittwater Road and Wakehurst Parkway carry Transport for NSW assets and the B-Line infrastructure. The typical jobs are locates for the steady stream of coastal rebuilds, scanning in Dee Why and Manly apartment blocks, and drainage investigations around the lagoons.
The same accredited crew and AS 5488-2022 report across Northern Beaches 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 Northern Beaches 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.
It helps the radar, which reads deep in dry sand, but the high water table and salt in the ground near the coast can shorten its reach. Electromagnetic tracing handles the conductive services and we pothole where the design needs a proven depth.
Yes. CCTV inspection and connectivity mapping of the low-lying stormwater networks, with each line traced and surveyed, is a regular job for council and private clients in the lagoon catchments.
Ausgrid for electricity, Sydney Water for water and sewer, Jemena for gas in the serviced areas, Telstra and NBN Co for communications and Northern Beaches Council for stormwater, with Transport for NSW assets on Pittwater Road and Wakehurst Parkway.
Yes. Manly, Dee Why, Brookvale, Mona Vale, Avalon and Palm Beach are all served from our Lindfield office via Mona Vale Road and the Wakehurst Parkway.
