Our Services
At Australian Underground Search, we help clients find underground services and sub-surface structures using the latest and most advanced technologies and techniques. This includes EMF Wand Detectors, Ground Penetrating Radar, CCTV Cameras, Thermal Imaging Cameras and Acoustic Leak Detectors. We operate across the Coffs Harbour - Grafton and Richmond - Tweed regions.
We can detect underground pipes, fibre optics, power and electrical cables.
We use this specialist equipment to detect any underground structures.
We can scan and document the integrity of underground pipes with our CCTV locating services.
Why ground-penetrating radar?
In this case, we feel a picture tells a thousand words! The owners of this property were having a fence installed. Needless to say, they did not carry out underground service location prior to digging and hit a water pipe. It was a very wasteful and costly mistake.
Ground-penetrating radar is an efficient and effective way to locate underground services and sub-surface structures. Digging or drilling without confirming the location and depth of services is a gamble.
A specialist Ground-penetrating radar is required for penetrating concrete slabs and surfaces. The system we use at Australian Underground Search features ultra-wideband detection for unparalleled sub-surface evaluation of concrete slabs, bridges, buildings, pavements, and other concrete structures. Using Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) technology, GPR Live real-time concrete scanning covers multiple individual GPR antennas ranging from 0.2 to 4.0GHz. This versatility allows fast integrity assessment, as-built verification, single-side thickness measurement, and hit prevention to mark cutting and safe core drilling locations accurately.
Why Australian Underground Search?
Although everybody is welcome to lodge their own online Dial Before You Dig enquiry, the enquiry only determines whether utility infrastructure might be present on the property. It does not always accurately portray the exact location or the depth of the infrastructure. At Australian Underground Search, we lodge your enquiry and then do an onsite location & depth verification to ensure that you can move forward with your project and avoid any nasty surprises!

David M.
The drilling company I work for have been using Australian Underground Search for over 12 months now. They have always had a very quick turnaround and will always work with us for a date and time that suits.
As well as being genuinely great blokes, the experience of both Dave and Niall shows onsite. They are both extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of service locating. We have worked together on some very complex sites in the main streets of Byron, Ballina and Lismore along with dozens of smaller residential jobs.
We could not be happier with their service and pricing, and could not recommend them enough if you have any service locating required.
We look forward to continue working together in the future!

Australian Underground Search (AUS) did an excellent job. They were easy to deal with, arrived on time and went on to finding and locating cables.
The guys on the job were terrific and explained all they were doing. Indeed they went on a little further (following the cable) than I anticipated. They also added a bonus of locating the telephone line into the house. They even advise the depth of the cable where it's located. I would use them again anytime.
