Plastic Pipe Locators

Discover industry-leading plastic pipe locators designed specifically to detect non-metallic water pipes such as PVC and polyethylene (PE). Unlike traditional pipe locators that rely on the presence of metal, these advanced systems use cutting-edge technologies like acoustic detection, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), tracer wire systems, or signal transmitters combined with sondes to locate buried plastic utilities with speed and accuracy.

PVC water pipes are commonly used in residential, commercial, and municipal water supply networks. However, their non-conductive nature makes them difficult to detect with standard electromagnetic locators. That’s where plastic pipe locating equipment excels—helping utility contractors, plumbers, councils, and civil engineers accurately pinpoint the depth and position of buried plastic infrastructure before excavation or maintenance.

Our selection of plastic pipe locators includes systems designed to trace pressurised water lines using acoustic sound waves or leak detection pulses, as well as tracer wire-compatible systems for newly installed pipelines. We also offer GPR-based units capable of scanning subsurface features in real-time, providing visual mapping of PVC pipes embedded in soil, concrete, or asphalt.

Whether you’re locating mains for asset management, avoiding costly damage during trenching, or verifying pipe locations for compliance, our plastic pipe locating tools deliver dependable performance on every job.
