When you are excavating it pays to know where all the buried utilities are located. Dig Safe Geelong have a range of ground penetrating radar hire to help.
When it comes to underground service locating one of the most well-known names is Dial Before You Dig. Our expert geo-location and ground penetrating radar team are Dial Before You Dig (DYBD) Certified, and we use this expertise to help our clients in their responsibility to locate any structural or utility assets buried in the designated excavation area. Like other contractors, we can't be held responsible for any assets not so identified.
Before you start digging, you need to know where everything is buried. If you start excavation works before you know what is hiding underneath the ground you can run the risk of utility damage, project delays and personal injury if something like buried electrical lines are struck or severed. Before you break ground, it’s helpful to utilise ground penetrating radar to map out where everything is buried and how far down they are.
Here at Dig Safe Geelong, we only use the latest ground penetrating radar software to ensure that you get the most accurate readings possible.
Two highly popular models of handheld GPR scanning service locators that our highly skilled operators use regularly are the Radiodetection RD8100 Precision Underground Service Locator and the Opera Duo Ground Penetrating Radar. Both of these models are top of the line pieces of equipment that are able to detect both the depth of buried items as well as the exact length in which they run in relation to the proposed dig site.
At Dig Safe Geelong we offer services to clients throughout Victoria from our home base in Geelong and our satellite workspaces and sites in the Melbourne CBD, Bendigo, and Sale. From these locations, we can offer ground penetrating radar wet hire services to areas such as Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, and Dandenong.
