1300 PIPECAM

CCTV Pipe Inspection Contractors

We provide detailed pipe inspection and survey reports using our state-of-the-art mobile robotic CCTV equipment. We are one of the very few underground service locators in Australia who deploy a mini lateral inspection camera to inspect and trace smaller pipes leading off from the main pipe course. Our 3D report data can be integrated to AutoCAD. We also address pipe blockage by silt and tree roots – we have the tools and the trained technicians to locate, evaluate, and remediate these issues.

Vacuum Excavation and Digging

We use the latest and most advanced equipment and techniques for non-destructive digging that conforms to relevant Australian specs. It is precise work, so as not to damage expensive subterranean assets. Not all companies take this much care, and a mistake with powerful jetting tools can be very costly. Our crews are accredited and trained to perform to a high level of excellence.

Our Services

Underground Utility Locator

We offer a comprehensive, integrated suite of advanced utility locating services and technologies to address your below-ground utility and asset challenges. This is an everyday issue in modern construction, and we’re here to provide quick, reliable answers and procedures.

Non Destructive Digging

We are ready to address your excavation and potholing needs with a highly functional range of precision water pressure and vacuum equipment. Every job is different, and we’ll bring the right tools for the job – to locate underground utilities, and for non-destructive trenching, exposing subsurface assets, cleaning, and all sub-grade activities requiring non-destructive methods.

Confined Space Contractor

We are able to assist with the extensive regulatory oversight and documentation required for work in confined spaces, to include pre-work assessment of a range of specified hazards, and issuance of employee entry permits to undertake confined-space work.

CCTV Drain Inspection

We deploy an advanced robotic CCTV inspection unit to visually inspect drain and pipe courses. Our equipment is able to launch a mini robot to enter and inspect lateral pipes – we are one of the few utility locating services in Australia with this capability.

Underground Cable Locator

We deploy the latest hand-portable detection units to locate underground utilities and find cables and pipes with a metallic core. Some newer assets like fibre cables are RFID tagged, and we are able to pick up those signals for positive ID and location as well. Our equipment remains current with regular software updates and calibration.

Acoustic Leak Detection

1300Locate has the equipment and expertise to locate many water leaks. Water leaks are an expensive problem for councils, water suppliers, businesses, and homeowners. Call in our highly trained team at the first sign of suspected trouble.

As Constructed Drawings

We have the ability to generate comprehensive As-Con plans and documents for planning, maintenance, and remediation. These are used to locate and specify new and existing utilities, buildings, roads, kerbs, and drainage.

Ground Penetrating Radar

We pioneered the use of GPR in Australia with utility locating services. It has grown into one of the most valuable and well-recognised tools for finding underground assets and structural features that would be hard or even impossible to find by more conventional means, when there are no surface indications of the situation below ground.

Geotechnical Reporting

We offer a dedicated service for clearing drilling positions and, to provide important soil and subsurface information and pre-work clearances, preventing potentially huge costs in repair and correction when utilities and other assets are not where the plans said they were – an all-too-common occurrence.
