Accredited utility locating and survey across Ryde and Macquarie Park, supporting the education and commercial precinct, metro works and residential renewal. No job too small. No project too large. From small contractors to major infrastructure.
Macquarie Park is one of the largest employment precincts in Australia, with Macquarie University, the hospital, the pharmaceutical and technology campuses and the shopping centre sitting on a dense web of private fibre, chilled water and campus-owned services that never appear on a Before You Dig Australia plan. The Sydney Metro stations at Macquarie University, Macquarie Park and North Ryde, and the Epping Road and Lane Cove Road corridors, add Transport for NSW assets to the mix.
Around it, Ryde, Meadowbank and Gladesville are replacing mid-century housing with apartments and the Meadowbank education precinct and the Ryde Hospital rebuild are major sites. Ground is Hawkesbury sandstone and shale, friendly to radar on the ridges and heavier on the clay flats near the Parramatta River. Ausgrid supplies the electricity, Sydney Water the water and sewer, and the City of Ryde the stormwater.
The same accredited crew and AS 5488-2022 report across Ryde & Macquarie Park 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.
Yes. Campus and business park networks are located from the owner's own drawings, from the pits and from a full EM and GPR sweep, and are reported with the same AS 5488-2022 quality levels as public assets.
Yes. The Metro corridor through Macquarie Park and North Ryde is Transport for NSW ground and our locators and surveyors hold the accreditation for it.
Sandstone and shale on the ridges, where radar reads well, and clay on the river flats around Meadowbank, where electromagnetic tracing and potholing carry more of the locate.
Ausgrid for electricity, Sydney Water for water and sewer, Jemena for gas, Telstra, NBN Co and the private carriers for communications and the City of Ryde for stormwater.
