Hydrometrix Technologies has become a trusted specialist in underground services location and mapping.
Our non-intrusive underground utility detection methods offer fast, accurate and cost-effective results.
Our ability to accurately locate and map the location and depth of underground services offers a range of benefits to our clients.
These include:
- workforce and site safety;
- accurate utility layouts for design purposes;
- accurate as-built drawings;
- fewer essential services strikes and interruptions during excavation;
- reduction/elimination of additional costs associated with redesigns,
services damage during construction and interruptions to work on site; and
- detailed underground asset data for asset registers.
Our state-of-the-art underground services location methods include Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR),
sonic surveys and electromagnetic location. We detect and map metallic and non-metallic pipelines and cables.
`Utility locations are surveyed, mapped and presented as 2D or 3D AutoCAD drawings and GIS shapefiles.
