Sonde Locating & Tracing Non-Metallic Pipes

This technique uses a flexible rod fitted with a signal-emitting transmitter (sonde) to accurately trace the path and depth of non-metallic pipes or ducts underground. Commonly paired with drain cameras or rodding equipment, the sonde emits a radio signal that can be detected above ground, allowing technicians to pinpoint the exact location of pipes, blockages, or utilities—without the need for invasive excavation.

This non-destructive method is ideal for targeted repairs, infrastructure mapping, and preventing accidental damage during new construction.

It offers Adelaide property owners and utility providers a reliable and precise solution for underground asset management.
