Anyone planning to dig in St Kilda needs to know what is already under the ground. Before excavation started at this St Kilda site, Drain Solutions traced the buried water, gas, electrical and communication lines and worked out where each one sits and how deep.
In brief
- Where: St Kilda, Melbourne
- Job: locating buried water, gas, electrical and communication lines before excavation
- Method: professional service detection equipment
- Result: the position and depth of each line identified
What is at risk if services are not found first?
Hitting a buried line during construction, plumbing or excavation work can be costly and dangerous. Finding and marking the lines before the first cut is how that risk is removed.
How does a locate work on site?
A locator uses professional detection equipment above ground to find each buried line and record its position and depth. That gives the crew a clear picture before digging starts and avoids costly service strikes.
Plans from Before You Dig Australia show where asset owners say their lines run. A locate checks where they actually run.
