Locate, Mark & Confirm
From surface marking to confirmed depth — three steps that save excavators from hitting unknown pipes.
Know exactly where your pipes are before you dig. We locate underground pipes to 15m depth across Wanaka, Queenstown, Cromwell, Alexandra and all of Central Otago.
We use electronic locating equipment to trace the exact position and depth of underground pipes — no guesswork, no unnecessary digging.
A signal is introduced into the pipe — either directly or via a CCTV sonde — and detected on the surface using a locating receiver. This maps the pipe's route and depth accurately without any excavation.
Our equipment locates pipes to 15 metres depth — well beyond what most locating services can achieve. Suitable for deep infrastructure, rural properties, and large civil sites where pipes run well below the surface.
From surface marking to confirmed depth — three steps that save excavators from hitting unknown pipes.
For a complete picture — where the pipe is, what's inside it, and what condition it's in — combine locating with a CCTV inspection in the same visit.
Our Ipek Rovion CCTV crawler carries a sonde transmitter. As the camera travels through the pipe, the sonde signal is tracked on the surface — giving you a precise map of the pipe route and depth at every point. One visit, full picture.
When locating is combined with CCTV, the survey produces a full WinCan-coded report showing pipe position, depth, condition, and defects — the standard required by engineers, councils, and insurance assessors.
Pipe locating saves time and money on any job where underground services are unknown or unmarked.
Old properties, rural sections, and lifestyle blocks often have no accurate records of where pipes run. Before digging for a new build, extension, pool, or landscaping — locate first to avoid hitting a live sewer or stormwater line.
Before breaking ground on any civil or subdivision project, all underground services need to be confirmed. We work alongside civil contractors and surveyors across Central Otago to mark and map existing drainage infrastructure accurately.
Buying a property and want to know exactly where the drainage runs? Locating combined with CCTV gives you the full picture before you sign — pipe position, depth, and condition.
If there's a suspected break, leak, or blockage but the pipe location is unknown, locating lets us find the pipe and plan targeted excavation — rather than digging up large areas of ground to find it.
