EMI PIPE & CABLE LOCATING
Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) pipe and cable location is a method to identify underground metallic utilities, or those with a tracer wire, including power, gas, water, and telecommunications pipelines.
DUCT RODDING
We use duct rodding to locate storm water pipelines, water pipelines (with access) by insertion of fiberglass rodding with a copper wire to enable us to apply EMI pipe and cable locating.

Our sister company Leak Detection Ltd focus on the location of underground water leaks for residential and commercial customers using acoustic devices with pipe and cable location.
Client Testimonials
“We just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to you and your team for all the great work you have done on our Project . Being the biggest Civil project in the country we have no room for error, and working in the Auckland CBD certainly has thrown us a few curve balls when it has come to Utilities. Thanks to the in depth knowledge and detection skills of your team, we have found Sub Surface Detection to be a valuable resource and our “go to “ contractor for any mark-out and detection of known, or unknown services in the area . Whether it is a mark out of a cable, or to detect depth and direction of a duct, you have always given us very prompt, efficient and an accurate mark out . I can’t recommend you highly enough. Once again, many thanks.”

He was professional, courteous, well informed and presented us with exactly the information we were asking for. Of course you would expect that but, the manner in which he performed his duties was exemplary. You are fortunate to have such an employee.”
