Underground pipe locating
Where exactly does this pipe run, and how deep? Pipe locating follows a conduit's route from the surface so you only dig in the right place. Before digging, also check the utility plans on KLIM-CICC.
✓ Steel water, heating and gas pipes
✓ Route marked on the ground, depth estimated
✓ Location of a transmitting camera head

Underground pipe locating: when do you need it?
Before excavation work
Avoid hitting a water or gas pipe.
Pipe lost after renovation
No plan, no reference: where does the pipe run?
Defect seen on camera
You need to know where to open to reach it.
Leak on a buried network
Retrace the pipe to focus the search.
How it works
01
Preparing the signal
A transmitter applies a signal to the metal pipe.
02
Following it on the surface
A professional receiver follows the signal and draws the route.
03
Depth and position
Depth is estimated and the path pinpointed.
04
Marking the ground
The route is marked to guide the work or a targeted opening.

Frequently asked questions
Can every type of pipe be found?
The method works mainly on metal pipes. For non-metallic sewers, we insert a probe or a transmitting camera.
How accurate is it?
Route and depth are estimated depending on the network and the terrain; the path is marked on the ground.
Which networks do you locate?
Plumbing, heating, steel or galvanised gas, and drains fitted with a probe.
Is it useful before works?
Yes: to avoid hitting a pipe and to open in the right place.
