More about LCG
A few questions, answered

Common questions.

Do you take on small jobs?
Yes. No job too small, no project too large. A one-hour locate for a local plumber or builder gets the same accredited technician and the same clear markings as a major infrastructure package.
Are you available 24/7?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency call-outs for day and night works: utility shutdowns, emergency tracking and public road works that need immediate attention. Traffic control can be supplied where required.
How quickly can you mobilise?
Same-day quotes on most jobs. A crew is typically on site within a few business days for standard scopes, with same-week or next-day mobilisation and 24/7 availability for urgent and emergency works.
What does AS 5488-2022 QL-A to QL-D mean?
AS 5488-2022 is the Australian Standard for classifying subsurface utility information. QL-D is the lowest confidence (desktop/records), QL-C and QL-B add field survey and detection, and QL-A is the highest, delivered by physical verification through non-destructive excavation. Every investigation states the quality level per asset.
Do you deliver CAD-ready mapping?
Yes. DWG, DXF, PDF, 12D and geo-referenced files as standard, classified to AS 5488-2022. Our reports are what contractors, engineers and architects design and construct from without rework.
What accreditations does LCG hold?
LCG is Transport for NSW and Sydney Water accredited, a CERTLOC Certified Locating Organisation and a Telstra Accredited Plant Locator, with team members holding NULCA and Rail Industry Worker accreditation. Locators and surveyors are accredited to TfNSW G71 & G73.
Where do you work?
Across New South Wales, including a lot of regional work. Locating, survey, drafting and reporting are delivered in-house.
