Service Locating
Service locating is an integral part of construction planning with the identifying of what hazards and services are in the area. Confirming what’s in the ground without digging it up or damaging it during construction will save you a lot of cost and frustration and give you a level of safety that can be confidently relayed to contractors or clients involved or just the security of your own knowledge. Here at Concrete Scanning & Locating WA we use the best possible equipment to confidently identify all possible hazards within your allocated working area.
Safety: Knowing the exact location of underground services reduces the risk of accidents that can occur when these services are disrupted. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers and the public.
Cost Savings: Accidental damage to underground utilities can lead to significant repair costs and project delays. Service locating minimizes these risks, thereby saving money and keeping projects on schedule.
Project Efficiency: Service locators expedite the planning and execution of construction and maintenance projects. By having a clear understanding of the subsurface infrastructure, project managers can design more efficient work plans.
Regulatory Compliance: In many regions, there are legal requirements to identify and mark underground services before commencing any excavation work. Service locating is thus essential for compliance with these regulations.
Minimizing Environmental Impact: Accidental damage to underground services can lead to environmental hazards, such as gas leaks or water contamination. Service locating helps in avoiding such incidents, thereby protecting the environment.
Reduced Risk of Service Interruptions: Damaging underground utilities can disrupt essential services to homes and businesses. Using a service locator helps maintain these services uninterrupted by preventing accidental utility damages.
