Utility location road sweeping services

Utility location services, road sweeping services and non-destructive excavation services that ensure minimal disruptions to your premises

Locating and revealing hidden utility lines is essential for the safety of any building and landscaping project. Though many underground utilities can be located with the help of documentation relating to your land, many plots of land have unused utilities that are so old that they do not appear on any document. Some lines may have been laid later by small companies and may have not related documentation available. Additionally, there may be specific times when a contractor or homeowner needs to dig into the ground and has no idea where the various underground utilities in their property are. As a result, if digging at such locations is done without regard for the safety of these underground utilities, there is a high risk of damaging the underground pipes, wires, cables, sewers, and so on.

Pipes laid underground can be of many kinds, like water pipes, gas pipes, oil pipes, etc. Similarly, wires can also be of distinct categories. As these underground utilities are important for the proper functioning of the building, it is important to contact professional utility location services before undertaking any excavation or digging work in the area. Not paying attention to these crucial underground utilities before undertaking any digging or construction work can cost you more in terms of the non-functional building due to damage to the underground utilities, and money and resources in their restoration. Underground electrical power lines may cause electrocution and gas pipes may get exploded if traditional digging methods are used. To ensure the safety of these underground utilities, a company providing utility location services must be called upon to ensure that these crucial underground utilities are not damaged in an excavation project.

Using advanced techniques of utility location services Aussie Hydro-Vac Services uses advanced techniques, such as hydroexcavation, and ground penetration radars (GPRs) to identify the location of old utilities, and safely remove them if required. The company takes care that all utilities that are currently in use or required are not damaged and remain intact. Other tools that can be used by utility location services include acoustic location, and electromagnetic and infrared imaging.

Performing radar sweeps to detect underground utilities Often, fuel tanks may have been removed from the property with no site scan available to confirm. This can delay the project and put the crew in harm’s way. So, the first step that a utility location services provider should undertake is to perform an entire radar sweep of the area for any undisclosed storage tanks. For this purpose, Aussie Hydro-Vac Services can decide to do soil contamination testing, and then use GPRS to conduct scans at specific areas of concern. The use of GPRS by Aussie Hydro-Vac’s utility location services will also help in locating non-conductive utilities that had gone unmapped. By doing multiple passes with a variety of utility detection equipment to detect conducting and non-conducting utilities, metallic, plastic, and other utilities, such as concrete pipes, Aussie Hydro-Vac Services can provide clients with a full map of all subsurface utilities in the specified area.

3D maps to aid constructors and engineers The company's utility location service operators can create 3D maps to assist construction managers and engineers in carrying out the reconstruction process in a safe and accurate manner.
