Pulse Locating is a privately owned Western Australian provider of professional utility locating services. Established in 2009 and based in Wangara, we work across the Perth metro area and regional Western Australia, delivering underground utility locating, vacuum excavation, ground penetrating radar, concrete scanning and high pressure gas supervision for civil, construction and infrastructure projects of all sizes.

Established 2009
Utility locating involves detecting, identifying and marking the position of underground services such as power cables, gas mains, water and sewer pipes, and communications lines before any excavation begins.
It protects workers, prevents accidental damage to critical infrastructure and keeps your project on schedule.
It exposes your construction site to safety risks, costly damage and project delays that are entirely avoidable.
Our promise to customers is the provision of complete underground asset locating services, from ground penetrating radar through to the physical location of utilities. Build an accurate picture of the underground assets beneath your site, plan properly, and dig safely.
Non-destructive digging that uses high pressure water and vacuum equipment to expose underground services safely. There are no buckets and no blind digging, just controlled exposure of the utility so its depth, alignment and condition can be confirmed before heavy plant moves through the area.
Targeted, precise exposure of individual underground utilities to positively identify them in the ground. Potholing verifies exactly what sits below before trenching, boring or piling is carried out, giving you Quality Level A information at the points where it matters most.
Working near high pressure gas infrastructure in Western Australia is tightly regulated. Any work within 15 metres requires ATCO approval, and work within 5 metres must be overseen by an ATCO approved High Pressure gas supervisor. Our supervisors are authorised to act on ATCO's behalf and assist contractors through drilling, excavation, hot works, compaction, dewatering and more.
Ground penetrating radar extends our underground locating services beyond what conventional electromagnetic methods can detect, picking up non-conductive pipes such as PVC and poly, along with voids and other subsurface anomalies. It is a key tool for building a complete picture of the underground services on a site before any ground is disturbed.
Before you cut, core or drill into a slab, you need to know what is inside it. Our concrete scanning identifies rebar, post-tension cables, conduits and embedded services, protecting your workers, your equipment and the structural integrity of the slab.
Pulse Locating is a Certified Locating Organisation listed on the CERTLOC register (formerly DBYD Certification). CERTLOC tests and assesses professional locating technicians against a minimum industry standard, so certification gives clients confidence that their service locating is being carried out by qualified personnel, not guesswork.
That formal certification, backed by our team’s practical expertise working around underground networks since 2009, is what separates a reliable locate from a line of paint on the ground.
Most projects need more than one of these capabilities, applied in the right order.
A typical engagement starts with a Before You Dig Australia request and a review of existing service plans.
Electromagnetic service locating and ground penetrating radar then confirm what is actually in the ground, which often differs from the records.
Where certainty is critical, potholing or vacuum excavation physically exposes the service so its exact location and depth can be recorded.
And if the works sit near high pressure gas assets, our supervisors keep the job compliant from start to finish.
The detail behind how we classify, record and govern subsurface utility information.
To ensure consistent safety best practices in service locating, Pulse Locating stringently adheres to AS 5488-2013 Classification of Subsurface Utility Information (SUI), the Australian Standard that governs how subsurface utility information is captured and classified.

To protect workers, plant and buried infrastructure, Pulse Locating always recommends clients choose Quality Level A for the most accurate locate possible.
Our work is carried out under accredited ISO 9001 (quality management) and ISO 45001 (occupational health and safety) systems. These are not box ticking exercises. They shape how every job is planned, executed and reported.
Privately owned and run since 2009, based in Wangara and working across Perth and regional Western Australia.
Detection, verification, exposure and supervision from a single team means fewer handovers, fewer gaps and better information for your project.
ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 accredited, with CERTLOC certified locating.
Accurate information at the start saves time and money once machines arrive, helping ensure project deadlines are met and unexpected complications are avoided.
We work with building and civil construction companies, directional drilling companies, surveying providers, utility providers and mining companies.
Whether you need a single locate or a complete subsurface utility investigation across a major construction site, our team can help you plan the safest approach.
