Underground Locating
Don't dig blind. We locate underground power cables and electrical services before your excavation work starts — protecting your crew, your project, and your budget.
Striking an underground cable is a serious safety hazard
Unmarked or mislocated underground power cables cause electrocution, fires, and major project delays. A locate before you dig is not just smart — in many cases it's a legal requirement under Australian safety legislation.
What We Can Locate
Underground Power Cables
Residential and commercial underground mains, sub-mains, and garden/outbuilding feeds. We trace and mark cable routes accurately before any digging begins.
Site Cable Routes
New builds, extensions, shed installs, pool and spa cabling, and commercial site work. Know where your cables run before concrete goes down.
Fault & Break Location
Underground cable fault or break? We can trace the line and pinpoint the fault location to minimise excavation and get your supply restored fast.
Pit & Conduit Tracing
Locate buried conduit, junction pits, and switchboard cable entries on existing properties where as-built drawings are unavailable or outdated.
Who Needs Underground Locating?
How It Works
Book a Locate
Call or contact us with your site address and a brief description of the planned works. We'll confirm availability and provide a quote.
On-Site Inspection
Our licensed electrician attends site with specialist locating equipment. We use electromagnetic detection to trace live and de-energised cable routes.
Mark & Document
Cable routes and depths are marked clearly on the ground using spray paint or flags. We can provide a written report or sketch plan if required.
Dig with Confidence
You proceed with excavation knowing exactly where the hazards are. We're available to return if scope changes or additional areas need locating.
Pricing
Locating is priced based on site size, number of circuits to trace, and access requirements. Most residential locates are completed in 1–2 hours.
All prices ex. GST. After-hours locates available — call for rates.
