Roading, Civil & Subdivision Projects
Councils, engineers & contractors
Locator Guys supports contractors, councils, engineers and project teams on roading, subdivision and civil infrastructure projects.
Civil sites can involve public utilities, private services, traffic management, tight timeframes and multiple work crews in the same area. We help identify, trace and mark underground services before excavation so work can be planned with clearer information and reduced risk.
Typical civil and infrastructure work includes:
• Road corridor service locating
• Pre-excavation utility surveys
• Subdivision and civil works support
• Council and contractor asset mapping
• GPR scanning where suitable
• GPS mapping and project records
• Locating private or unknown services within project areas
