Pinpoint subsurface utilities with confidence. MNG Locate enhances underground mapping and utility locating with subsurface spatial data. Deeper expertise, knowledge and insights for any project. Calculate risks with confidence.
\n\nBefore you dig, you need to know what’s underground. Australia has an ageing and complex underground network, and sometimes the surface-level plan doesn’t always match what’s underground. Striking high voltage cables, gas mains or pressurised pipelines can put lives at risk, halt your project and trigger cost blowouts.
\nAt MNG, our utility locating technicians deploy advanced dual-frequency Ground Penetrating Radar (ground penetrating radar) and electromagnetic detection, delivering verified subsurface data before a single shovel hits the ground. From non-conductive utilities to high-voltage infrastructure, we locate it all with precision, keeping your project on time and your people safe.
\n\n
We understand. And because we have such broad experience, we’re able to hit the ground running and deliver the high-quality data and insights you need, fast. No unnecessary costs or delays.

We provide a range of visualisation tools, including:
\nYou’ll have all the accurate data you need to progress your project and realise its commercial value.
\nLocating utilities is only half of the job, the other half is making that data usable. Our utility mapping and GIS (Geographic Information Systems) service takes field-located utility data and transforms it into accurate, geospatially referenced records. This rich dataset integrates directly into your planning, design and asset management workflows.
\nEvery utility we locate is tied to precise coordinates and delivered in the format your team needs. GIS layers, CAD (Computer-Aided Design) drawings, shapefiles and enterprise mapping systems don’t just sit in a folder, they become a living record your organisation can access, interrogate, update and build on over time.
\nThis is where utility locating begins. Our technicians deploy GPR, electromagnetic locators and radio frequency detection equipment to physically find and map buried infrastructure before ground is broken.
\nGPR is particularly valuable for detecting non-metallic utilities. Plastic pipes, fibre optic conduits and other non conductive assets that electromagnetic locators alone will miss. Combined with passive and active locating techniques, we build a complete picture of what’s underground, its position, depth and type.
\nEvery mark-out and cable avoidance survey we deliver gives your project team the verified subsurface intelligence to excavate, design and plan with confidence.
\n\n
For high-risk and high-value infrastructure projects, guesswork isn’t an option. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a formalised methodology that delivers graded, quality-controlled utility data your engineers and project owners can rely on at every stage of design and construction.
\nFollowing the ASCE 38-02 standard, our subsurface utility exploration process works through four quality levels, each building confidence in the utility picture:
\nThe result is precise utility positions, attribute data and conflict analyses, all delivered in CAD and GIS formats. For projects where a utility strike would be catastrophic, SUE feeds verified, engineering-grade data directly into your BIM workflows.
\nWe’re ready to add help you locate underground utilities and provide mapping that can mitigate a range of potential risks. Contact us today and find out more about how our utility locating team can assist your next project.
