Our Services
Comprehensive Solutions That Cater to All
You can count on our team to deliver complete and outstanding results no matter the requirements.
Radio Detection
Radio detection equipment has been our go-to for buried utility locating since our inception. Our professionals utilize the most up-to-date locating hardware to cater to your service detection needs.
Our certified locators are equipped with the 'RD' service locators, including the latest 'RD8000' model, as well as the more recent VIVAX vLoc3-Pro.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Our Ground Penetrating Radar ('GPR') employs electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range to survey and identify underground features such as (but not limited to) concrete, asphalt, metal structures, pipes, and cables.
GPR is most commonly used to reveal hidden objects and services that are unable to be identified by conventional service locating equipment.
Non-Destructive Digging (NDD)
We offer comprehensive Non-Destructive Digging ('NDD') solutions to clients. Our process sees the use of a high-pressure lance that dispenses water via our vacuum handled tube to safely expose and identify buried utilities and assets.
We supply two NDD units:
#1: Small Unit (Trailer-Mounted)
- Debris Tank Capacity: 800 Liters
- Process Water Tank Capacity: 300 Liters
- Water Pressure: 1,000 to 4,000 PSI
- Vacuum Hose Diameter: 90 Millimeters
#2: Large Unit (4x4 EPA Transport License)
- Debris Tank Capacity: 3,000 Liters
- Process Water Tank Capacity: 1,500 Liters
- Water Pressure: 2000 to 5000 PSI
- Vacuum Hose Diameter: 90 Millimeters
Concrete Coring
To further complement our other Non-Destructive Digging equipment is our concrete corer. We provide coring barrels of multiple sizes.
120mm
205mm
250mm
300mm
Records, Drafting & Surveying
We work based on the philosophy that, if the customer takes all the necessary steps to ensure a safe working environment, then it only makes sense to record the list of relevant findings.
At the base level, our professionals will identify and accurately mark any underground utilities on the ground with spot marking paint, chalk, pegs, and/or flags to ensure they can be identified by others.
Following this (if necessary), we will implement our Non-Destructive Digging services and subsequently confirm relevant service depths, types, and sizes.
Finally, we create a record of all results that are found. This is achieved via sourcing sketches, pictures, GPS system data, CAD drawings, and any other material to ensure the information is accurate and usable should it be required in the future.
Total Project Management
Subsurface Utility Engineering ('SUE')
The main driving factor of the SUE process is to integrate quantitative data with design-- developing bullet-proof strategies that enable existing utilities to remain safe and in place during works.
Engineering ('E') is, for good reason, incorporated within SUE, and is the process focusing on resolving issues with sub-surface utilities, and is done so in a systematic, advanced, and pro-active manner.
U.S.D. Pty Ltd actively thrives to predict, and therefore prevent, problems that may arise in the future via our project management services.
Aerial Mapping
High-quality aerial mapping is available in conjunction with our rendering software to provide clients with accurate 3D models of their relevant works.
The 'DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus' is piloted by our CASA certified pilot/operator and all data is imported and rendered via the 'Pix4DMapper' software.
Special Requests
Have any special requests? Underground Services Detection is open to any and all requests --even those outside of the conventional scope we typically operate within.
