Talk to our team
Why not just use DBYD?

Your DBYD plans are not enough.

Dial Before You Dig gives you records, not locations. A cable shown somewhere inside a 3 metre corridor is not something you can safely dig around, and the plans are often out of date or missing private services altogether. We attend site, detect what is actually there, and mark it on the ground so your crew knows exactly where to dig.

The cost of getting it wrong

What a strike actually costs.

Hit an unmarked gas main, power cable or fibre run and you are up for emergency repairs, a shut-down site, supply authority penalties and liability for anyone on the tools. A locate costs a fraction of the excess, and takes a couple of hours.

FAQs

Questions, answered.

Is there a minimum job size?
No. A one-hour locate for a local plumber or builder gets the same accredited technician, the same equipment and the same clear markings as a multi-week infrastructure package. If it's underground and needs to be found, we'll come out for it.
What is AS 5488-2022 and which quality level will my job be?
AS 5488-2022 is the Australian Standard for Subsurface Utility Information. It defines four Quality Levels: QL-D (records only), QL-C (surface indicators), QL-B (geophysical detection, EM/GPR) and QL-A (physical verification via vacuum potholing). We scope the level required for your project up front and deliver to that standard.
Do you cover after-hours, weekend and shutdown work?
Yes. We mobilise 24/7 across NSW, day, night, weekend and public holidays. Ideal for road-corridor works, rail possessions and live-site shutdowns.
What accreditations do you hold?
Transport for NSW and Sydney Water accredited. CERTLOC certified. Approved DBYD and Telstra locators. NULCA members. Individual technicians hold TfNSW G71 (traffic control) and G73 (utility spotter) tickets and Rail Industry Worker (RIW) credentials.
What deliverables do you provide?
On-site marking to AS 5488-2022, plus digital deliverables in 12D, DWG or DXF, BIM-ready 3D utility strings, SUI spreadsheets and asset registers, all GDA2020 georeferenced and ready to hand to your design team or excavation crew.
Do you handle survey and drafting in-house?
Yes. Locators, registered surveyors, drafters and reporting are all in-house at our Lindfield HQ. One team, one point of contact, one accountable delivery, no sub-contracted crews and no gaps between field and office.
