PIPE LOCATING SERVICEs
High-precision detection of water, sewer, stormwater, gas and drainage pipes across construction, rural and residential sites
PERTH & REGIONAL WA
Know Exactly Where Your Pipes Are Before You Dig, Drill or Build
Pipe locating is essential on any site — whether you’re excavating, trenching, drilling, fencing, renovating or planning major civil works. Damaging a live water main, gas line or sewer system can cause major flooding, contamination, service outages, safety hazards and expensive project delays.
We provide reliable pipe locating services across Perth and Regional WA, using advanced technology to identify pipe locations in the ground, inside slabs, behind walls and across large open areas such as farms, rural properties and construction sites.
From major commercial projects to small domestic jobs, our technicians deliver fast, precise and safe locating services you can trust.
What We Locate
We specialise in underground pipe locating, identifying all types of buried water pipes including mains supply lines, residential water feeds, and rural reticulation or irrigation systems across poly, copper, steel, and PVC materials. Our service also covers the full range of sewer and wastewater infrastructure such as gravity sewer lines, junctions, septic systems, leach drains, and commercial wastewater networks.
Our underground pipe locating capabilities extend to stormwater and drainage systems, including soakwells, downpipe connections, subsurface drains, and broader stormwater networks. We also locate residential and commercial gas pipes, particularly in high-risk areas where precision is critical to avoid damage and ensure safety.
Using advanced GPR and electromagnetic locating technology, we carry out accurate underground pipe locating even within structures, including pipes embedded in concrete slabs, walls, ceilings, tilt-up panels, structural floors, and concealed conduits.

Homeowners and property managers
FAQs
-
No. In addition to underground systems, we can detect pipes within slabs, walls, ceilings and structural flooring using advanced GPR and EM locating technology. This is especially useful before drilling, cutting, coring or renovating.
-
Damaging a pipe can cause flooding, contamination, gas leaks, service disruptions and large repair costs. Professional locating ensures your project remains safe, compliant and avoids unnecessary delays or hazards.
-
Yes. We regularly service rural and remote areas across WA, locating irrigation lines, reticulation systems, mains feeds and ageing or undocumented pipe networks on farms, large land parcels and regional developments.
-
We use a combination of Electromagnetic Locators (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This allows us to trace pipes made from various materials and detect services in soil, concrete and structural environments with high precision.
-
We work across all project types including civil construction, commercial developments, roadworks, plumbing and drainage upgrades, rural irrigation planning, residential renovations and pre-drilling or coring assessments.
Advanced Technology for Precise Pipe Detection
Our pipe locating services utilise advanced technologies such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locating equipment to deliver accurate underground results. These tools enable non-destructive detection of pipes beneath surfaces like concrete, asphalt, and soil, ensuring precise underground pipe locating without the need for invasive excavation.
By combining multiple locating methods, our pipe locating services can determine pipe depth, direction, and material type with a high level of accuracy. This approach is especially effective in complex environments where multiple underground services are present, providing reliable data that supports safe excavation, minimises risk, and improves overall project efficiency.
Why Choose Professional Underground Pipe Locating
Accurate underground pipe locating is essential before any excavation or construction work begins. Without proper identification of buried services, there is a high risk of costly damage, project delays, and safety hazards. By using specialised locating methods, underground assets can be mapped with precision, allowing contractors and property owners to proceed with confidence.
Professional underground pipe locating also helps maintain compliance with safety regulations and reduces the likelihood of unexpected disruptions. Whether working on residential, commercial, or civil projects, having a clear understanding of subsurface infrastructure ensures smoother project planning and minimises downtime caused by accidental service strikes.
