In any task requiring excavation, one factor is always in the back of your mind – what you will find under the surface. Power, gas, water and communications cable are commonly buried at a depth of 200 – 600mm beneath the surface and rarely follow the path indicated in installation plans.
Striking even domestic power or gas supplies is a serious Health and Safety issue that can result in serious injury or even death. Damage to other services can cause disruption leading to compensation claims that run into many thousands of dollars.
There are three main methods of locating and avoiding buried services:
- Ground penetrating radar (GPR). This is used for locating large non-metallic services such as plastic gas or water mains, concrete pipes or services located under concrete slabs . It is not effective for locating small domestic cables or pipes.
- Vacuum excavation. This uses a truck or trailer mounted high volume vacuum pipe, often in conjunction with high pressure water jets to expose buried services. This method is usually used to prove service locations where multiple services are co-located in a dig site. Vacuum excavation is often used in urban areas and around sensitive services such as HV power, HP gas and Optic Fibres
- Radio detection. This uses a combination of transmitter and detector to locate services directly. Various methods are used to inject a radio signal into the service directly (metallic pipes and cables) or indirectly by pushing a copper cored duct rod into pipes or ducts and detecting a signal injected into the rod. Radio detection is the most appropriate and cost effective method for most domestic and landscaping applications.
Other considerations.
There are many different types of equipment available to achieve similar outcomes but your service locator should provide the following:
- The locator must be fully insured and experienced in the type of service location required.
- Telstra Accredited Plant Locator (APL) accreditation is a legal requirement to locate Telstra assets and is a prerequisite for valid insurance cover.
- Locating contractors should be members of NULCA the Locators association to ensure that they are kept up to date with legal and technical developments
- Your locator should ensure that you are made aware of the limitations of the equipment and the expected degree of accuracy of the locate.
- Local conditions such as multiple services located together or heavy reinforcing in concrete slabs can interfere with locator signals and reduce accuracy.
- Your locator should always discuss what they have found and marked with you or your staff on site.
- Your locator should give you a cost estimate and a maximum that will be charged before starting the job.
You don’t have to find services by accident!
