SERVICE MAPPING

Utility Tracing / Risk Management

GPR Radargram - Service Anomalies

NZ Locators Ltd. has extensive experience within the field of Utility Tracing. Utilizing some of the best technologies available allows us to both accurately locate and provide depth information for a variety of utilities:

Fuji-Tecom PL960

Both metallic and non-metallic pipes
Power Cables
Telecommunication Cables
Storm Water Pipes
Sanitary Sewer Lines

Additionally, using standard survey techniques (Real-Time Kinematic GPS and 2" Total Stations) we can not only find services in the field, but survey their position to a suggested datum for later import into CAD software / GIS systems. Topographic surveys are also available.

How?

We can cater surveys to a variety of budgets, with the following options available:

Radio Frequency / Passive Techniques (Fuji-Tecom Locators) (Metallic Pipes and Cables)
Manhole lifting and recording
Ground Penetrating Radar (2D and 3D GPR - Metallic & Non-metallic Pipes / Conduits)
Conductive Line Tracing (Non-metallic Pipes / Conduits)
Radio Frequency Sonde Tracing (Non-metallic Pipes / Conduits)
Full site survey (Utilities and Topo)

Leica System 500 RTK GPS

Why?

We understand that there are inherent risks associated with any intrusive work and aim to provide a service that can reduce this risk to acceptable levels. Our surveys will provide information on subsurface utilities / features that will:

Damaged Cable - Avoidable!

Reduce costly down-time
Satisfy current OSH requirements
Reduce the need / extent for intrusive works
