Commercial & Industrial Sites
Builders, facilities & operations
Locator Guys works with builders, contractors, engineers, facility managers and maintenance teams on commercial and industrial sites across Canterbury and the wider South Island.
These sites often involve existing underground services, tight access, active operations and multiple contractors working in the same area. We help locate and mark services before upgrades, repairs, excavation, drilling or staged works begin, helping reduce the risk of service strikes, delays and unexpected costs.
Typical commercial and industrial work includes:
• Locating underground services before site upgrades
• Concrete scanning before cutting, drilling or coring
• Cable locating and fault finding
• Mapping services for future maintenance
• Locating around warehouses, factories, yards and operational sites
• Supporting contractors during staged works
