Method
Our underground services location procedure, marking and reporting is in accordance to accordance to AS5488-2013 Subsurface Engineering Standard. Depending on the risk management objectives / specifications, site location, depth and nature of targets, we utilise medium-to-low frequency (80-900 MHz frequency) Ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology to survey underground targets.
Electromagnetic Induction (E1MI)
Buried services may include metallic and non-metallic services including PVC conduits, Optical fibre lines etc. Depending on size and depth of target, GPR may miss detection of PVC and small non-conductive objects. In addition to GPR, we utilise Electromagnetic induction (EMI) techniques using a transmitter (Tx) / receiver (Rx), tracing wire rods, Sondes for active locating or passive locating of all services including: Live, dead, inactive, abandoned, metallic or non-conductive.
