Engineering-grade utility investigation for designers, contractors and asset owners across the Sunshine Coast and South East Queensland. Every mark we place and every drawing we issue states its AS 5488 quality level.
From a fast pre-excavation mark-out to a fully engineered utility investigation deliverable, the method is matched to the decision you need to make.
Active and passive electromagnetic tracing of conductive services — power, communications, metallic mains and trace-wired assets — marked on the ground and recorded against AS 5488.
Radar investigation for non-conductive and unknown services — PVC, PE, AC and abandoned assets that electromagnetic methods cannot see on their own.
Engineering-grade utility investigation reports and CAD/GIS deliverables classified QL-D through QL-A, issued in the formats your design team actually works in.
Non-destructive digging to visually confirm asset position, depth and material — lifting critical services to QL-A where the design or construction risk demands certainty.
A mark on the ground means nothing without a stated confidence. We classify everything we locate to AS 5488, so you know exactly how much weight each line can carry in design and construction.
Potholed and physically sighted. Position, depth and material confirmed to ±50 mm.
Reliable electronic location. ±300 mm horizontal and ±500 mm vertical tolerance.
Identified from surface features where an electronic trace could not be achieved.
Identified from plans and records only. No positional accuracy is implied.
QL-C and QL-D carry no special accuracy — which is exactly why we tell you when that is all the evidence supports.
Foresight was built by people who estimate, design and deliver civil work. The investigation is scoped around the decision it needs to support.
We clarify the work area, the design or construction decision at stake, and the quality level each asset actually needs.
BYDA plans, site walkover, then systematic EM and GPR sweeps — active, passive and blind search — across the designated area.
Where certainty matters, non-destructive potholing confirms position, depth and material, lifting critical services to QL-A.
A clear deliverable with stated quality levels — field mark-out, survey pickup, and CAD/GIS output in the format your team uses.
We service civil, development and infrastructure projects across the Sunshine Coast and greater South East Queensland. For projects outside this footprint, contact us — mobilisation is priced per project, not hidden in the rate.
Send through the site, the drawings you have, and the decision you need to make. We will come back with a clear price and a clear quality level.
