About

Locating, from a drilling yard.

Spot On Locate and Detect Pty Ltd is the locating and detection sister company of Spot On Excavations. Both work from the same base at 836 Kurmond Road, North Richmond NSW.

01Why a separate company

Locating is its own job.

Plenty of jobs need services found and marked with no drilling involved. A separate company lets civil contractors, builders and asset owners book locating directly.

The same work still sits behind Spot On drilling. On a bore, the locator guides the drill head and keeps it clear of what is already in the ground. Spot On Locate and Detect takes that discipline to trenches, footings, pits and bore paths for any contractor.

On a drill crew the locator is treated as the most safety-critical role, because the bore path depends on it. Keeping locating as its own business means it can be booked for jobs where nobody from Spot On is drilling, and it gets its own records and procedures.

Three current team members hold the nationally recognised unit RIICCM202E Identify, locate and protect underground services. A Safe Work Method Statement written for locating on general utilities works is being finalised. To confirm

The business is based at 836 Kurmond Road, North Richmond, in the same yard as Spot On Excavations. The yard is shared, and potholing is arranged with Spot On Excavations. The email address is also shared until a Locate address exists.
