Capability statement.

Overview

Spot On Locate and Detect finds and marks underground services before excavation and drilling. It works for civil contractors, drilling contractors, builders and asset owners, and it supports Spot On Excavations drilling projects. Locating can be booked on its own.

The standard sequence is plan review, a site walk, electromagnetic locating, surface marking in the Australian service colours with an AS 5488 quality level noted for each mark, and potholing to prove a service where required, arranged with Spot On Excavations. This describes standard practice, not a guarantee for any one job.

• Customers: civil contractors, drilling contractors, builders and asset owners
• Booked without a drilling crew
• Three current team members hold RIICCM202E Identify, locate and protect underground services
• Public and products liability of $20 million held for asset location and detection work (QBE, to 25 June 2027)

• Electromagnetic service locating
• Ground-penetrating radar, subject to operational confirmation

A photo and sketch record of the mark-out is available on request. To confirm

Safety approach

• BYDA plans reviewed before locating starts
• Services located and marked before excavation or drilling
• Services exposed by potholing where sight confirmation is needed
• Locating instruments kept in calibration, with certificates held
• Gas detectors bump tested for work around pits and excavations
• The locator is treated as the most safety-critical role on a drill crew

A Safe Work Method Statement for locating on general utilities works is being finalised. To confirm
