Corrections & Secure Facilities
Controlled-access environments
Locator Guys can assist with underground locating and service mapping in corrections, secure facilities and other controlled-access environments where trust, planning, safety and clear communication are essential.
These sites often have strict access requirements, sensitive operations and additional coordination before work can begin. Our team has experience working in corrections environments, with APPE access in place for Canterbury-based prisons where required.
We work with approved site contacts, contractors and facility representatives to plan the locating approach, follow site procedures and minimise disruption to normal operations.
