Electrical Cable Locating in Brisbane
Specialist electrical cable locating across Brisbane, with HV through LV traced in line with AS/NZS 4836 and Energex procedures, CBD to industrial precinct.
Brisbane CBD carries multiple parallel HV feeders below street level. Work near these assets requires Energex coordination, isolation permits, and cable-specialist tracing. Our local team delivers all three, applying passive power-frequency detection on live cables and active direct-connect injection on isolated assets to confirm position and depth before excavation.
Outer industrial precincts at Eagle Farm, Pinkenba, Wacol, and Larapinta carry private MV networks, generator interconnects, and increasingly large solar and EV charger supply runs. These privately owned cables rarely appear on BYDA plans and require active injection from accessible pits or switchboards. Our crews trace and verify each before any ground disturbance.
Every Brisbane electrical locate is delivered with marked surface positions, depths where achievable, and references to AS/NZS 4836 and Energex procedures where they apply. This documentation supports network operator approvals and project-level safety case requirements.

Safety Warning
Excavation near HV cables risks fatal electrocution, severe arc flash burns, and network-wide outages affecting thousands of customers. AS/NZS 4836 and network operator permits are mandatory, so never excavate near electrical infrastructure without verified locates and appropriate authorisations in place.
