Potholing in the Hunter

Seamless Access & Repair

Many underground asset owners recommend potholing to expose utilities. In numerous cases, potholing is mandatory prior to any work being carried out close to, or inside asset exclusion zones.


Through potholing, we can accurately locate underground services and utilities to facilitate access for maintenance or repair. We also use potholing to trace service sources, routes and end-points for correct service mapping.


At East Coast Locating Services, we only use well-maintained and modern machines. Choose our expert team and you’ll enjoy accurate, efficient and professional potholing every time.
