Services
The key to efficient, accurate subsurface utility location is arriving on site properly briefed and informed, with the right equipment. Subtera utilises a cloud based scheduling system which enables our teams to have all the plans required for the job onsite. All the records pertaining to your job are archived and are always on hand for immediate retrieval.
Location Targets
There are a broad range of services and utilities that may be present underground on site, consisting of different materials and coatings. Our subsurface location equipment is designed to detect and locate the entire spectrum of underground services in Perth. READ MORE

Industry Standard Quality Levels
Even the most experienced engineers, planners, developers and construction supervisors are often unaware that there are four levels of classification for Subsurface Utility Information (SUI AS 5488-2013) under Australian Standards.
When asking for a quote from Subtera, the most effective way is to determine which of these four quality levels best applies to the project, and nominate it on your quote request.
Subsurface Location Equipment
Subtera utilises two different kinds of non-destructive underground service location equipment (Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Line Locators), using both on-site as a cross-referencing mechanism to ensure accuracy. Subtera maintains strong relationships with technology providers such as Radiodetection and Mala, to ensure that we can offer state of the art equipment tuned precisely to our clients’ needs.

Our concrete scanning equipment can identify problems in concrete such as rebar deformation and voids, but in general the Subtera concrete scanning teams are searching for services embedded in the concrete for clients planning to core through it without affecting utilities or structural integrity.
