Back From Holidays and straight into a Hole...Literally!

The team at Exact Cable Locating Services is back on deck and it didn’t take long before we were thrown into a proper head-scratcher.

We were called out to assist on a particularly unusual and ongoing issue...a recurrent sinkhole that had left our client (and multiple trades) searching for answers! Despite previous investigations, the cause remained unclear, with the ground continuing to give way.

Using advanced Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) technology, we carried out a detailed scan of the affected area to identify any subsurface voids, ground instability, or hidden anomalies that could be contributing to the problem.

Our investigation helped provide greater clarity on what’s happening beneath the surface for our client. If you’re dealing with unexplained ground movement or need to understand what’s below before you dig, get in touch with the team at Exact Cable Locating Services.

Exact Cable Locating Services is still on holiday in Bangkok 🇹🇭

After seeing the local cable infrastructure here… we’ve come to the professional conclusion that cable locating in Bangkok may be slightly more challenging than back home and on the same level as Hanoi!

Looking at these overhead services, we’re not sure whether it’s:
• Power
• Communications
• Internet
• Cable TV
• Or possibly the entire national grid tied together with zip ties!!!
Let’s just say if someone requested a locate here, the report might read:
"Services present… somewhere… and probably all of them."

We briefly considered offering our services locally, but after one look at these poles we felt like we’d just stepped into The Hangover: Bangkok Edition. All we’re missing is a tiger, Mike Tyson, and a very confusing night we don’t remember 🐅🍻

While we’re away:
• Job requests can still be submitted via our website
• We’ll respond when we can between street food and tuk tuks.

We’ll be back very soon and ready to return to slightly more organised underground services. Our books are fast filling up, so get in quick.

Stay safe and keep digging smart.

Exact Cable Locating Services – Holiday Field Report!

Currently on a holiday in Hanoi and after walking the streets here… we can confirm that utility locating is definitely a different art form over here! 😅

From overhead spaghetti junctions of cables to mystery conduits disappearing into walls and footpaths… let’s just say Tristan would be working overtime trying to make sense of it all. Safe to say we’re very happy to be on holiday and not holding the locator today!

Don’t worry though – we’ll be back on the tools from the 19th of March, ready to get back to doing things the Exact way:
✔️ Accurate locating
✔️ Clear markings
✔️ Keeping excavations safe

Until then, enjoy this little glimpse of what locating might look like if we packed up the gear and moved the business to Hanoi!

We've just reached 100 followers! Thank you for the continuing support. We could never have made it without each and every one of you. 🙏🤗🎉

Here's to a big 2026 at Exact Cable and a good post to jump on the AI work cartoon trend of my wife and I. She's a nurse in her day job, but my trusty admin assistant by night 🤣

When you lodge a utility plan request through (BYDA), you’ll also receive a list of Certified Locating Organisations (CLOs) servicing your dig site area — conveniently sorted by distance from the job site and filtered by state.

BYDA reminds all users that underground infrastructure networks are complex and require expert knowledge to identify the location of buried services carefully and safely, to reduce the risk of accidental damage or workplace injury.

That’s why they highly recommend engaging a Certified Locating Organisation — staffed by Certified Locators.

Certified Locators meet the CERTLOC Global certification standard for locating excellence, best practice, and safety. They are skilled in interpreting utility plans, assessing site conditions, and navigating complex underground networks to confidently identify and verify buried utilities.

CERTLOC Global is the only nationally operating, independent certification body dedicated specifically to Australia’s underground utility locating industry.
Across Australia, Certified Locating Organisations make it easy to access Certified Locators committed to safer worksites, improved data quality, and greater confidence in every locate.

Find certainty on your next project.
Use the National Directory of CLOs to locate a Certified Locating Organisation near you: https://certloc.com.au/locators/?_location=-57.824697%2C83.989183%2C11.387726%2C166.43059

Great day on site recently in the Adelaide Parklands working collaboratively with the team from SA Cable and Pipe Locating!

Solid teamwork on a hot, sunny day delivering accurate locating outcomes and keeping the project moving safely.

Always good to work alongside trusted experienced operators who share the same standards.

Recently we attended a site after excavation works had already commenced and underground services were struck. We were called in after the damage occurred and not only were we able to locate and identify the struck cable, but further investigation also revealed a gas service running directly beneath the proposed excavation area, presenting a serious safety risk had works continued.

This is a strong reminder that underground services are not always where you expect them to be, and relying on assumptions or plans alone can lead to costly damage, delays, and potential danger.

At Exact Cable, we provide professional service locating to help:
✔️ Protect workers and the public
✔️ Prevent service strikes and costly repairs
✔️ Ensure your excavation is carried out safely and compliantly as a CERTLOC certified business.

Locate before you excavate, it’s not just best practice, it’s essential!

Here’s to another busy year around Adelaide and SA! Stay safe, enjoy the break, and we’ll see you back on site in 2026 ✨️

Out on the tools near Adelaide Oval recently! We were back in the precinct helping out with some underground service locating before upcoming works. Always a great spot to be on the job even if we wish the footy was still on! Go Crows! 🏉💛💙❤️

GPR scanning, cable tracing and a few tricky subsurface features kept us busy, but we got it sorted and safely marked up.

If you’ve got works coming up and need services located, give Exact Cable a shout we’re always happy to help. 👋
