Underground Utility Mapping & Surveys
Utility Mapping
Accurate Utility Mapping That Gives Your Project a Solid Foundation
Knowing where underground utilities are located is only half the picture. Having that information accurately captured, documented, and mapped in a format your team can actually work from is what makes the real difference on site. At Locate X, the team provides high-accuracy utility mapping and survey services across Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Maitland, Central Coast, and Sydney, giving engineers, designers, and project managers the precise spatial data they need to plan, design, and build with confidence.
Using high-accuracy GNSS and total station capture, the team records the position and depth of underground services to survey-grade precision. Because this data is then processed into digital maps and plans that integrate directly with CAD and GIS platforms, you get a seamless workflow from field capture through to final documentation. Whether you’re in the early planning stages of a project or preparing as-built documentation after construction, Locate X delivers utility mapping results you can rely on.

How Utility Mapping & Surveys Work
The process begins with a site assessment to understand the scope of the survey, the utilities that need to be captured, and any specific data requirements your project has. From there, the Locate X team uses high-accuracy GNSS receivers and total station equipment to capture the precise position of underground services identified during the locating phase. This survey-grade capture ensures the spatial data recorded is accurate enough to support detailed engineering design and project planning.
Once field data is collected, it’s processed and compiled into digital maps and plans tailored to your project needs. Because Locate X produces outputs that integrate directly with industry-standard CAD and GIS platforms, your design and engineering team can incorporate the data into their workflows without any additional conversion or manipulation. Furthermore, where as-built documentation is required after construction, the team can return to site and capture the final installed position of all services, providing a reliable record for future reference and infrastructure management.
What Does Utility Mapping Cover?
A utility mapping and survey engagement from Locate X can be tailored to suit the specific needs of your project. Depending on scope, this typically includes:
- High-accuracy GNSS capture of underground utility positions and depths.
- Total station survey for precise spatial measurement in complex or constrained site environments.
- Digital mapping and plan production in CAD and GIS compatible formats.
- As-built documentation of installed underground infrastructure after construction.
- Integration with existing project drawings, design files, and spatial databases.
- Capture of all utility types including power, water, gas, communications, sewer, and stormwater.
