Martlec Services provides underground service locating and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) services across Ballarat and surrounding areas. Our underground detection services help identify buried cables, pipes and utilities before construction, excavation and infrastructure works. We assist builders, civil contractors, surveyors, businesses and property owners with locating underground services.
Underground service detection for Ballarat construction projects
Ballarat combines historic residential and commercial areas with substantial new housing development.
Properties in Ballarat Central, Soldiers Hill, Ballarat East and surrounding established neighbourhoods may contain older underground infrastructure or services installed during previous building alterations. Identifying these services is important when planning renovations, drainage upgrades, foundations and excavation.
In Ballarat’s western growth areas, including Lucas, Alfredton, Winter Valley and Delacombe, new housing and associated infrastructure create different locating requirements. Underground cable and pipe locations may need to be investigated before trenching, service connections or works near existing infrastructure.
Commercial and industrial projects around Wendouree and the Ballarat West Employment Zone may also require underground utility scanning before site modifications or construction.

GPR and underground cable locating in Ballarat
GPR can assist with investigating buried objects and non-metallic infrastructure where site conditions allow. It is useful when existing plans provide limited information or conventional electromagnetic detection is unsuitable for the target.
Martlec Services also provides underground cable locator services to assist with tracing suitable electrical and communications infrastructure.
For construction projects involving multiple underground services, different locating methods may be required to investigate the work area. Results should be considered alongside available utility plans and any necessary physical verification.
