Ever wondered how to locate utilites onsite? Here’s a quick overview of our process!
Step 1 – Visual Locating
Check Dial Before You Dig plans, mark-out extent of scope and do visual inspection.
Step 2 – Cables Before Pipes
Locate most conductive materials first such as electrical and communication CABLES, then locate PIPES such as water, gas, fire protection services, oil pipeline, stormwater, and sewer.
Step 3 – Sanity Check
For each service line tracing, check if Peak & Null matches then do a quick depth check, then trace to another surface feature or known point.
Step 4 – Time to Show Your Marking Skills
Once confirmed, mark out services according to Australian Standard – AS5488 attributes and appropriate line marking color.
