Subsurface utility investigation across Parramatta and the Central River City, supporting CBD renewal, the light rail corridor and high-density residential and commercial builds. No job too small. No project too large. From small contractors to major infrastructure.
Parramatta is the centre of the Central River City and one of the busiest construction precincts in New South Wales. Parramatta Light Rail runs through Church Street and the CBD, Sydney Metro West is tunnelling towards the city, Powerhouse Parramatta and the civic precinct are rebuilding the river frontage, and high-rise residential keeps replacing older commercial blocks. Every one of those sites shares a street with services that were laid for a much smaller town.
The ground is a mix: river alluvium and fill along the Parramatta River, shale and clay on the ridges. Electricity here is Endeavour Energy, water and sewer Sydney Water, with trunk mains and heritage sewers running close to the river. Light rail and Metro corridors sit under Transport for NSW rules, and our TfNSW accredited locators and surveyors have the clearances those jobs require.
The same accredited crew and AS 5488-2022 report across Parramatta 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.
Endeavour Energy. Its feeders and the Transport for NSW traction supply for the light rail share the main streets, so a locate in central Parramatta always starts with both sets of plans.
Yes. Work near the alignment runs under Transport for NSW access and permit conditions, and our crews hold the accreditation and Rail Industry Worker cards for it.
It reads well in the alluvial and sandy ground near the river and less well on the clay ridges. We combine radar with electromagnetic tracing and pothole where the design needs a proven depth.
Yes. Westmead, Harris Park, Granville, Rydalmere, Carlingford and Northmead are served from the same crew, usually within a few business days.
Send us the site and program. We come back with a same-day quote and deliverables to suit.
