Underground Locating, Leak Detection & Utility Mapping Projects
Canterbury-based and servicing sites across the South Island
Locator Guys works across residential, rural, commercial, civil and specialist sites throughout Canterbury and the wider South Island.
Whether you are planning a small excavation at home, tracing a rural water line, installing signage, upgrading a commercial site or working around critical infrastructure, we help you understand what is below before work begins.
Our services include underground service locating, water leak detection, concrete scanning, cable locating, GPR scanning and precision GPS utility mapping. Every site is different, so we use the most suitable locating method for the job and clearly explain what we can find, what we have located, and any limitations on site.
The project types below show the kinds of sites we regularly work on. Some details are kept general to protect client confidentiality.
