Utility Locating Whanganui
Utility locating for safer site work
Know what is beneath the site before excavation, trenching or drilling begins. DigiBuilt provides practical underground utility locating for civil contractors, HDD crews, drainage teams, property owners and infrastructure operators across Whanganui and Manawatū.
We combine available plans, site observations and locating equipment to identify and mark detectable services. Where required, located features can also be recorded with GNSS, photos and field notes to create a more useful project record.
What we can help locate
- Power and communications routes
- Water, drainage and other conductive services
- Ducts, crossings, pits and connection points
- Private services not shown clearly on existing plans
- Services affecting excavation or HDD alignments
What you receive
The scope can include surface marking, a site walkover, depth indications where equipment and conditions allow, photographs, risk notes and mapped positions. Deliverables are matched to the job.
Utility locating reduces uncertainty, but it does not remove the need for safe excavation practices. Plans may be incomplete, some materials may not be detectable, and positions or depths should be verified with appropriate non-destructive excavation before critical work.
When to call DigiBuilt
Bring us in before breaking ground, planning a crossing, investigating an unknown site, pricing work with uncertain utility risk, or creating a record for future maintenance.
