Check underground utilities before digging. We provide non-destructive underground detection services and underground services scanning—combining Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic locating to pinpoint buried water pipes, electrical cables, sewer lines, and fibre ducts in a single site visit.
Tell us about your project and our team will respond promptly.
Select the exact subsurface investigation or pipeline service your project requires—from pre-excavation sweeps and slab coring clearance to CCTV camera diagnostics.
Subsurface & Concrete
High-resolution radar scanning to locate buried utilities, map rebar & post-tension tendons before core drilling, and detect subsurface anomalies.
Rebar & Post-Tension
Non-destructive slab and wall scanning to map rebar grids, post-tensioned tendons, embedded conduits, and cover depth before core drilling or cutting.
CAD, GIS & KML Maps
Survey-grade buried services surveys using Stonex Total Station & GNSS to deliver georeferenced AutoCAD (.DWG), Google Earth (.KML), and PDF utility reports.
Metal, PVC & Concrete
Accurately locate and map buried water mains, sewer lines, gas pipes, and stormwater drains—whether metallic, PVC, HDPE, or fibre-cement.
Power & Fibre-Optic
Pinpoint live high- and low-voltage electrical power cables, street lighting feeders, and telecommunications or fibre ducts before digging.
Internal Camera Survey
Robotic crawler and push-rod camera inspections inside stormwater and sewer pipes to diagnose blockages, cracks, and root intrusion without digging.
You don’t just get a technician walking around with a scanner—you get immediate physical markings on the ground plus engineering-grade digital utility maps for your design and safety files.
Output 01 · Same Day
Every detected water pipe, power cable, telecom sleeve, or rebar grid is clearly marked on the ground or concrete slab with alignment arrows and estimated depth callouts so your crew can work safely right away.
Output 02 · Digital Map
Surveyed with our Stonex GNSS & Total Station instruments, all detected underground utilities are plotted onto high-resolution aerial imagery and CAD drawings for your engineers and architects.
Output 03 · Full Report
Comprehensive project documentation featuring annotated site photographs, radargram depth profiles, utility schedules, and methodology sign-off for your construction health & safety file.
Municipal and site as-built drawings are frequently outdated or incomplete. Our underground scanning services combine Sensors & Software LMX200 Ground Penetrating Radar with Radiodetection RD8200 electromagnetic locators so neither live power cables nor plastic water lines are missed.
Scan proposed trenches, foundation footprints, borehole positions, and road crossings to identify every buried pipe, cable, and duct before mechanical excavation begins.
Explore GPR Scanning Services →Detect pressurized water mains, fire hydrant lines, stormwater culverts, and gravity sewers—whether steel, cast iron, copper, PVC, HDPE, or fibre-cement.
Explore Underground Pipe Detection →Trace live 50 Hz high- and low-voltage armoured cables, street lighting circuits, unpowered conductors, and telecom/fibre sleeves.
Explore Underground Cable Detection →Fast mobile dispatch from our Johannesburg and Rustenburg hubs to commercial, civil, mining, and municipal sites across South Africa.
Explore Johannesburg Utility Detection →Thorough multi-pass utility scanning that gives your civil engineers and site crew total confidence.
We inspect manholes, valve boxes, distribution kiosks, and kerb markers to establish known utility tie-ins.
We sweep with Radiodetection RD8200 locators to trace live power signals and induce frequencies onto metallic services.
We scan with Ground Penetrating Radar to locate non-metallic PVC/HDPE pipes, concrete ducts, and unknown anomalies.
All utilities are marked on site with depths and compiled into a georeferenced PDF, CAD, and KML utility report.

Our underground utility detection service includes a comprehensive on-site sweep using both Electromagnetic (EM) cable/pipe locators and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), immediate color-coded surface markings with depth estimates, and a formal utility detection report with annotated photos and optional CAD/KML drawings.
Yes. Because we deploy both GPR and electromagnetic locators on every utility detection callout, we locate water pipes, sewer drains, gas lines, electrical cables, and fibre-optic ducts during a single site visit.
Yes. Our Gauteng mobile field teams provide 24–48 hour mobilisation across Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria, and the East and West Rand.
