Potholing Services

Jurovich Surveying provides expert potholing services to physically expose underground utilities such as pipes, cables and other infrastructure. Using non-destructive digging techniques, we can uncover assets prior to construction to ensure safety and damage control.

What is Potholing?

Potholing is a precise excavation method used to physically uncover infrastructure that’s been reported during underground utility locating procedures.

It involves carefully removing a small section of the ground to visually inspect pipes, cables, and other infrastructure before any major digging commences. This proactive approach significantly minimises the risk of damaging critical utilities like:

• Gas lines: Causing potentially explosive leaks.
• Water mains: Disrupting water supply and causing flooding.
• Sewer lines: Leading to sewage backups and environmental contamination.
• Electrical cables: Causing power outages and electrocution hazards.
• Telecommunication lines: Disrupting essential communication services.

Safety

Potholing directly verifies the presence, depth, and location of utilities, eliminating the guesswork and significantly reducing the risk of accidental strikes.

Efficiency

By accurately identifying, marking and exposing utilities, potholing minimises delays and rework, saving time and money on your project.

Environmental Impact

By avoiding accidental utility strikes, potholing helps prevent environmental damage and costly repairs.

Compliance

Potholing ensures compliance with Australian Standards and local regulations, protecting your project from legal and financial repercussions.
