Defect & Alignment Locating
Pipe Defect & Alignment Locating Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast & Beyond
Drain Tech Australia provides pipe defect and alignment locating services across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and beyond.
Using CCTV inspection equipment, sonde locating and electronic detection tools, our operators can help identify the position of underground pipes, service alignments and specific defect locations. This assists with repair planning, excavation works, asset verification and reducing unnecessary digging.
Defect and alignment locating is commonly used when a blockage, break, intrusion, displaced joint or damaged pipe section has been identified during CCTV inspection and the location needs to be marked on the surface for further works.
This service is commonly used for:
- Locating underground pipe alignments
- Identifying the position and depth of assets
- Locating defects or damaged pipe sections
- Pinpointing blockages
- Finding hidden or buried manholes
- Marking repair locations from above ground
Upon completion, clients will receive:
- A detailed report for each located asset
- CCTV inspection video for each asset inspected
- A marked-up map showing confirmed asset alignments and location details
- Photos of onsite surface markings showing pipe positions, depths, defects, blockages or repair locations
- Data will be supplied as a hard copy with USB, or via electronic data transfer

What Defect & Alignment Locating Is Used For
Defect and alignment locating is used to identify the surface position of underground pipes, drainage alignments and specific pipe defects found during inspection works.
This helps clients understand where a pipe runs, where a defect is located and where excavation, repair or further investigation may be required.
How the Location Is Completed
Our operators use CCTV inspection equipment, sonde locating and electronic detection tools to trace the pipe alignment or locate a specific point within the asset.
Where practical, the location can be marked on the surface, and supporting mark-up information can be provided to assist with repair planning, excavation or further investigation.
What Can Be Located
We can assist with locating pipe alignments, bends, junctions, access points, buried assets and defects such as breaks, intrusions, displaced joints, collapses, blockages and damaged sections.
The locating process can be used alongside CCTV inspection to provide a clearer understanding of both the internal pipe condition and the surface position of the issue.
What You Receive
Depending on the project requirements, clients can receive CCTV inspection information, defect observations, surface locating details and a marked-up plan or map showing the approximate location of the pipe alignment or defect.
This information can help contractors, engineers, councils and asset owners plan repairs, excavation, verification works or further investigation with greater confidence.
