At 1300Locate, we are proudly known as one of the industries pioneers in the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) for utility detection across Australia. In our humble beginnings, 1300Locate purchased one of the first GPR units, which was manufactured by IDS back in 2007, using radio waves to gather data from beneath the earth’s surface. Since then, we have worked tirelessly to have this valuable tool accepted amongst the building, construction, and industrial industry. Now, it has become a recognised and sought-after piece of equipment that is used when utilities cannot be found using traditional methods. It is the perfect plan B!
