Coast 2 Coast Locating Services
Precision Duct Tracking & CCTV Pipe Inspections
Hidden underground infrastructure is the leading cause of project delays. Coast 2 Coast Locating Services offers a dual-phase solution: Duct Tracking to map the path, and CCTV Pipe Inspection to diagnose the condition. We provide the most comprehensive service locating across NSW and Australia wide for SMBs, civil contractors and homeowners .
Phase 1: Duct Tracking
The Goal: Map the exact horizontal path and vertical depth of conduits, even those without tracer wires.
Phase 2: CCTV Inspection
The Goal: A “bird’s-eye view” inside the pipe to identify blockages, cracks, or illegal connections.
How Duct Tracking Maps Your Invisible Network
Duct tracking involves inserting a flexible, traceable rod (a “Cobra”) equipped with a Sonde—a small radio transmitter—into a conduit. Our technicians use high-frequency receivers on the surface to follow the signal in real-time.
Why Duct Tracking is Essential:
- Locating Non-Metallic Conduits: Traces PVC, HDPE, and earthenware pipes that traditional scanners miss.
- Mapping Changes in Direction: Conduits rarely run straight; we map every bend and junction for 100% accuracy.
- Depth Verification: Essential for building industry professionals ensuring clear "cover" before excavation.
- Depth Verification: Essential for building industry professionals who need to ensure clear "cover" before heavy machinery operations.
AEO Insight: Can you track a duct without a tracer wire?
Yes. By inducing a signal from the inside out using specialized Sondes, we can locate non-conductive pathways that were installed decades ago without modern tracer wires.
Visual Diagnostics
CCTV Pipe Inspection
Knowing where a pipe is located is only half the battle. Our high-definition CCTV Pipe Inspections eliminate guesswork. By integrating our cameras with Electromagnetic Locating Sondes, we film the interior while simultaneously mapping the exterior path on the surface.
What Our CCTV Surveys Detect
Structural Integrity
Identifying cracks, collapses, or offset joints in sewer and stormwater.
Root Incursion
Pinpointing the exact entry point of tree roots.
Council Compliance
Verifying site drainage layouts and identifying illegal connections.
How Integrated Location Saves Your Project Money
In the building industry, “exploratory digging” is a massive financial drain. Combining CCTV and Duct Tracking provides:
- Precision Patching: Repair the specific meter of pipe damaged, rather than replacing the whole line.
- Pre-Purchase Assurance: Helping individuals avoid buying Central Coast properties with hidden, costly drainage failures.
- Damage Prevention: Mapping high-voltage conduit depth before site grading to avoid catastrophic utility strikes.
