Hey guys.
So we are just heading off to a job.
Just a private homeowner's job today.
She's putting up a new retaining wall.
Got a retaining wall at the front of her property and she's redoing it.
So she's asked us to come out and locate all the services.
There's a few services out there.
It's going to be from what we've seen so far sewer, stormwater, gas, power, telephone
I've forgotten what .... Anyway, all the stuff.
So, Shaun is going to be Sorry, try again.
You going to wave?
There we go.
Is going to be doing the locating and I'm just coming for a drive to get some footage.
Hope you enjoy watching us do this job.
Alright, let's give it a go.
Okay, come for a walk and let me show you
what we're up to out here.
So they're putting in a retaining wall through here
as I mentioned before.
New retaining wall going in.
We got water meter here.
Over here we've got sewer and stormwater.
That comes in through there.
And up here we've got gas, power and telephone.
And that is what Shaun is up to at the moment.
He's got to locate the power going up to the house.
So the retaining wall finishes here but we just want to double check
I mean we're certain that it should be going from there straight up to there
but let's just double check it.
You never know, some crazy builders
who might be going down and over that way.
Could be going anywhere.
So, what we're going to do, we're going to hook on, double check where she goes and that is it.
Okay, so that is power done.
It looks like Shaun is heading over to do the Telstra now.
I reckon the Telstra is going to be in the same trench.
But let's see how he goes.
See if he can find it there.
And there we go.
As suspected it's in the same trench as the power.
It comes across the road, over here
and in with the power.
And then comes straight over
to the Telstra at the wall.
Okay.
So next is gas.
Shaun is going to locate where this gas pipe goes.
Okay and that's gas done.
Not where I expected it to be at all.
Well I shouldn't say not where I expected it to be.
But when I saw a gas meter there I'd be thinking it would go
straight down that way there.
Whereas it goes over
on the angle
and then straight down there.
Actually that probably makes sense when I look at it now.
They probably were originally were going to go straight up
and go next to the house. They normally put gas meters next to the house
but maybe because of the size of it they had to put it over there
so that's why they've diverted off this way.
Yeah.
I like that how that happens.
After now that I step back and look at it it all actually makes sense to me.
Okay.
Next one.
Let's do the sewer.
Okay.
So as you can see the sewer, we can't really locate it.
We can't put a rod down it.
Trying to get in there and trying to unscrew it and trying
to get a rod down would be
it's just a bit of a pain, confined space and so forth.
So all we've done is just lined up where it goes.
So, we can see the pipe right there.
We can see the pipe in there.
So we've literally just said it goes between there.
From the house we know it should go from there according to the plumber
it should go from there up to the sorry
up to that corner of the property.
But we haven't got plans for it.
The plumber has done the right thing and drawn up plans apparently.
But according to Barwater there's no plans there for this property.
So that makes it a bit annoying.
But anyway.
He's actually going to come out and do some more works here
so when he comes out he can go through the sewer
work that part out with the owner.
Okay.
So Shaun is just about to start locating the stormwater.
So we can see that the stormwater comes from the street to the house.
We going to locate where that goes now.
Hear it?
Ready?
Have a listen.
Can you hear it?
Good.
There's one there.
That goes that way.
Oh I see what you mean.
There's one there.
That goes that way.
And then there's a further one down the bottom and I reckon it's a jump up.
See how it's going up and down, up and down like that?
That is the water.
So right now the water is being used.
And it's being turned on and off.
We're actually just locating the water.
That's why it's turned on, off, on, off, on, off like that.
So that is why you see those gauges moving.
Alright guys.
So let me show you something that's a bit different
that in all my years of locating I haven't seen before.
Have a look at this.
The water meter is there
all standard.
And there's this thing here.
And it is a Whole House Water Filter Assembly.
So what happens is the water comes in
gets filtered and then goes out
and goes up to actually sorry
I think it goes in this side and then goes back out that side
and then goes up to the house.
At my house at home I've got a filter on the tap at the sink
so I drink filtered water.
These guys the whole house is filtered.
Pretty cool.
I've never, yeah.
I've never seen one before.
Anyway, thought I'd just show you.
Okay, so that is the water all located.
Luckily with the acoustic locator we were able to hear it
and be able to see it.
Bit different to what the plumber told us on the phone.
On the phone he said to us it would come straight from the meter
straight up to the house.
It sort of goes straight.
Have a look at this.
So it's over there, coming down there
down to that part's straight.
But then it turns over to that.
So, when someone says to me it goes straight from the meter to the house
I'm saying the meter is there it should be going straight up that way to the house.
Obviously a misunderstanding.
Difference of opinion.
When I say it goes straight it's different to what other people say goes straight.
All good.
But we've found it.
That's our job.
And we've been able to locate it.
All good.
So, that is all the services located out here.
Shaun's just doing up the job sheet right now.
He's just took some photos of the site.
We always take photos of every job we do.
So he's just drawing up the job sheet now.
And once he's done that we'll walk the client through
and show them what we've found and wrap up and that's it.
I'll probably advise the client on this one here.
If she's got a plan of the house to draw up all the
if she can draw up all the services that we've located for her.
You pay the money for us to come out to site why not draw it all up on a plan.
We do offer the service as well drawing up all the services we locate.
I did already mention that to them when we spoke to them on the phone last week,
no this week, couple of days ago I think when we booked the job in
and they said no, it's alright they are getting
works are happening next week and they are having the excavator here next
week so all the locating was for was to put the
marks on the ground
So that is it.
