Curtin University Bentley, Perth

We were commissioned to locate and map underground assets for Curtin University, playing a critical role in their design decisions. Using a combination of Class A and Class B locating techniques, we delivered cost-effective, precise spatial data, helping the client mitigate development risks and make informed, proactive plans.

                           
                              
                              
                           
                        
Notre Dame Fremantle, Perth

In 2018, RM Surveys was engaged by Josh Byrne and Associates to uncover buried archaeological remains at 3 High Street, a historic site in Fremantle. Using Ground Penetrating Radar, we successfully located the original structural footings without disturbing the site. This data will help preserve the site's history during future development.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is utility mapping, and why is it important for my project?

Utility mapping involves identifying and mapping the precise locations of underground utilities, such as gas, water, and electricity lines. This process is crucial for avoiding accidental damage during construction, preventing costly repairs, and ensuring safe excavation.

What does an underground utility locator do, and how accurate are their services?

An underground utility locator uses specialised equipment to detect and mark the location of buried utilities. Accuracy varies by Quality Level: Quality A offers the highest precision, while Quality D relies on existing records. The right level is chosen based on the project's needs and site conditions.

What utility locating services do you offer, and how do they differ?

Our utility locating services include Quality Levels A, B, C, and D. Quality A offers the most accurate locating using professional surveying equipment, while Quality D is based on existing records with minimal verification. Each level is tailored to the project's accuracy requirements.

How does non-destructive digging enhance utility locating?

Non-destructive digging, also known as potholing or vacuum excavation, is used alongside utility locating to safely expose underground utilities without causing damage. This method provides precise verification of utility locations, reducing the risk of costly and dangerous errors during excavation.
