LOCATE UNDERGROUND SERVICES

Service Locating in the Mudgee Region

Vacsafe provides accurate, reliable, and compliant underground utility locating services across Mudgee and the wider Central West NSW.
As CertLoc Approved Locators, we use advanced electromagnetic (EMF) locating, radio detection, and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to identify underground assets before any excavation begins. Whether you’re completing civil works, construction, mining operations, council projects, or private residential work, our team ensures you know exactly what lies beneath the surface.

 

Our Process

We follow a clear, safe, and industry-standard workflow:

1. Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) / 1100 Plan Review- We obtain and assess all available utility plans before we arrive.

2. On-Site Locating- Using industry-leading EMF, radio detection and GPR equipment, we locate all detectable services.

3. Marking Assets Onsite- All utilities are clearly marked using paint, flags, or pegs for easy visibility.

4. Client Walk-Through- We discuss the findings onsite, including risks, unknowns, and recommended safe-dig areas.

5. Detailed Report (If Required)- A professional locating report can be provided, including maps, photos, notes, and utility details.
