Use Utility ID for your validation of underground services through our expert potholing techniques.
Why Hire us for Potholing?
Our DBYD certified hydro vacuum excavation service includes potholing, which is the method of physically exposing underground assets through small, excavated holes. This will give you a visual confirmation and positive depth and location of the underground asset to remove the risk of damage and ensure protection against your duty of care.
Potholing through hydro vacuum excavation is the least minimally invasive technique for exposing underground infrastructure and conforms with AS5488 – 2013 Quality Level A in terms of location accuracy, along with the option of trenching. All underground services identified via above ground techniques need to be physically exposed to meet Quality Level A accuracy and adhere to best practice which is required prior to any excavation.
