Underground Service Locating Perth

What We Do

The United Scanning team are the Perth specialists in the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to help their clients with underground service locating. No other available technology can provide such accurate and swift results and with the interpretation provided by our trained technicians, we can efficiently locate underground services in a safe, swift and non-invasive way.

We use the latest in Ground Penetrating Radar technology to perform underground service locating. Our scanners produce radar waves between 300Mhz and 800Mhz and analyse the reflections from underground features to allow us to provide clear insights into what lies below. The lower frequencies allow us to provide information from as much as 6m under the surface while at 800Mhz we can provide higher resolution imaging closer to the surface

We follow a clear process when scanning for underground services.

We begin by ensuring the safety of our staff and any other personnel involved, by making sure we have a clear idea of any risks the site may present and are following our Safety Process.

We compliment this by consulting any plans or drawings that may be available, either from the owner of the site or from the Dial Before You Dig services.

Based on this we are able to assign technicians to the job who possess the appropriate qualifications and certifications to ensure they able to correctly and safely identify and mark the services.

Finally we perform the scan, marking the services in the ways agreed with the client. This may include marking the services on the ground, potholing the service for later surveying and marking the service on maps, plans or site drawings.

For many clients we will also provide a detailed report, including images in either 2D or 3D format and our interpretation of the images.
