Underground Asset Management

Utility Surveying and Mapping

Information is essential for planning any project or before digging in unknown areas.

Significant cost and safety risks can be removed by planning and locating hidden underground services before you commence works. An Underground Service Survey provides the vital information required to avoid such problems and produces an accurate drawing and report for your permanent records and future developments.

Our team plan your project from start to finish to suit the needs of your site. DBYD information is used as a template to further improve the Quality from Class D to C and B according to the Classification of Subsurface Utility Information (SUI) (AS5488). The benefit of using QEST is in our ability to safely NDD at key locations and upgrade your Utility Survey again to Class A, Exposed and Surveyed to sub 50mm 3D coordinates.

Benefits:

  • Increased productivity and efficiency
  • Avoid high costs to repair damaged Infrastructure
  • Avoid serious injury to workers and the public
  • Avoid cost and inconvenience of interruptions to Utility Services
  • Accurate data for planning and design

Non-Destructive Excavation

Non Destructive Excavation (NDE) or Non Destructive Digging (NDD) is a clean, low impact and non destructive method of excavation that utilises the gentle digging power of high pressure water and vacuum.

Our underground is densely packed with services whose locations are often poorly mapped. Excavation with traditional methods can damage these services and puts operators and property at risk.

Non Destructive Excavation, which is also known as Hydro Excavation, Non Destructive Digging and Vacuum Excavation creates MINIMAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT, allows for safe working around underground utilities, gas mains, sewer pipes and water pipes without risk to property or operators, and is effective for:

Benefits:

  • Avoid high costs to repair damaged Infrastructure
  • Avoid serious injury to workers and the public
  • Avoid cost and inconvenience of interruptions to Utility Services
  • Increased productivity and efficiency
  • Less invasive to the environment
  • High precision excavation
  • Clean and Environmentally friendly

Precision pipe and cable location

Information is essential for planning any project or before digging in unknown areas. Significant cost and safety risks can be removed by planning and locating hidden underground services before you commence works. For a small investment prior to excavation, thousands of dollars in repair costs, penalties, downtime and reputation can be avoided.

Benefits:

  • Avoid high costs to repair damaged Infrastructure
  • Avoid serious injury to workers and the public
  • Avoid cost and inconvenience of interruptions to Utility Services
  • Increased productivity and efficiency

Drain and pipe cleaning

Drain and pipe cleaning is a professional service that involves the use of high-pressure water jets to remove blockages, debris, and buildup from drains and pipes. This service is essential for maintaining the proper functioning of plumbing systems and preventing costly damage from blockages or backups.

As a drain and pipe cleaning service provider, our goal is to provide effective and efficient cleaning solutions that restore the flow and functionality of drains and pipes using high-pressure water jets.

Our service includes:

  • Drain inspection: We use advanced camera systems to inspect the interior of the drain and identify the location and cause of the blockage.
  • Drain cleaning: We use high-pressure water jets to blast away blockages and remove buildup from the interior of the drain.
  • Pipe cleaning: We use specialized high-pressure water jet equipment to remove debris and buildup from pipes, ensuring that water flows freely through the plumbing system.
  • Preventative maintenance: We offer regular maintenance plans to prevent future blockages and ensure the long-term health of plumbing systems.
  • Emergency services: We provide 24/7 emergency services to quickly address any plumbing issues that require immediate attention.
  • Odor control: We use eco-friendly and effective solutions to control unpleasant odors that can result from clogged or dirty drains.
  • Professionalism and safety: We ensure that our technicians are trained, licensed, and insured to provide safe and professional services that meet industry standards.

Closed Circuit Television Survey (CCTV)

CCTV inspections on drainage and sewer systems involve the use of specialized cameras to inspect the interior of pipes and other underground structures. The cameras are connected to a monitor above ground, allowing the technician to view the footage in real-time and identify any potential problems.

During the inspection, the technician will typically insert the camera into the pipe or sewer and guide it through the system, looking for any signs of damage, blockages, or other issues that may be causing problems. For example, pipe dislodgement and tree roots. Our Laser Profiler is equipped with high-quality sensors that can detect even small cracks or leaks in the pipes, and the footage can be recorded for later analysis.

Once the inspection is complete, the technician will provide a detailed report of their findings. This can help property owners and maintenance teams to identify and address potential issues before they become more serious and expensive to fix.

Combining this service with our Data management and Surveying will allow you to have an easily accessible and interactive mapping solution with direct links from the mapping solution to the CCTV footage and reports.

Overall, CCTV inspections are an important tool for maintaining the integrity and functionality of drainage and sewer systems and can help to prevent costly damage and disruptions to services.
