Contracting - Health & Safety | Sub Surface Detection and Leak Detection
Detecting dangers lurking below A few hours of underground diagnostics can save a lot of headaches. After all, it is a priority to know the underground position of network services prior to the commencement of any excavation. Sub Surface Detection and Leak Detection are the “go to” companies for facilitating underground asset management, protection and health and safety requirements in New Zealand. Many underground sites are a criss-cross of power cables, gas lines, water and drainage pipes, and fibre optic communications, with danger lurking millimetres away from a probing mechanical digging shovel. The key to preventing pipeline and cable hits begins by accurately locating and marking existing underground facilities.

“Sub Surface uses electro-magnetic induction (EMI) and pipe and cable detection to locate metallic utilities such as steel pipes, power cables and copper communication cables,” says chief executive Justin Bell. “Combined with the underground images produced by a ground penetrating radar (GPR) survey, both metallic and non metallic (plastic, concrete, asbestos, cement) objects lying in the path of a potential excavation can be seen and identified. “A few hours’ diagnostic work and careful potholing to confirm positions ahead of a dig can save thousands later and provide increased safety for workers.” Sub Surface Detection Ltd contracts to an impressive client list within the Auckland region, supplying valued clients with the service they require to complete their projects safely and with minimal disruptions to their schedules. Leak Detection Ltd, the longest established and most experienced company within the Auckland residential water leak detection industry, is also experiencing record call-outs, indicating that it too is providing the quality of service that existing and new clients expect. The success of both companies is due, in part, to forming productive working relationships and Sub Surface Detection and Leak Detection would like to thank all its suppliers and customers, including Pipe Image and Southeys Group.
