FNQ Cable Locators pty ltd

At FNQ Cable Locators, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of underground locating services in Far North Queensland. With an impressive 38 years of experience, we have established ourselves as a leading authority in this field, dedicated to providing our clients with safe and reliable solutions for their excavation needs. Our commitment to excellence is underscored by our certification as a CERTLOC Certified Locating Organisation, a recognition that signifies our adherence to high professional standards and safety protocols. 

We understand that excavating or digging in areas where underground utilities exist can pose significant risks. Our primary mission is to mitigate these risks by accurately locating and marking utilities such as power lines, gas mains, optic fibre cables, water pipes, and sewer systems before any work commences. This service is critical not only for the safety of workers and site occupants but also for the integrity of existing infrastructure.

Our team consists of highly skilled professionals who are passionate about their work and understand the importance of precision in locating utilities. We use cutting-edge technology, including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and metallic locating equipment, to provide the most accurate and reliable results. We recognise that inaccurate locating can lead to costly damages, delays, and safety hazards; therefore, we take every precaution to ensure that our equipment is regularly tested and calibrated to deliver optimal performance. In addition to our core cable locating services, we offer a full suite of capabilities tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients. We provide hydro excavation services, a modern and non-destructive excavating method that utilises high-pressure water to safely expose underground utilities without damaging them. This technique is particularly crucial in sensitive areas or where traditional digging could pose risks to existing infrastructure.

We are also experienced in delivering civil works and fibre optic splicing and testing, making us a one-stop solution for all your underground utility needs. Furthermore, we have the necessary licensing to remove and transport Class B asbestos, addressing a critical concern for projects in older infrastructure where such materials may be present. Our business is proud to be telco accredited, meaning we complete substantial work for Telstra and NBN projects throughout the Far North Queensland region. This extensive involvement with major telecommunications providers demonstrates our versatility and commitment to quality, as we regularly handle various types of contracts, ranging from minor installations to large-scale projects. Customer satisfaction remains our top priority. We understand that time is of the essence in any excavation project, which is why we strive for quick response times and efficient service delivery. We work closely with our clients to ensure that their specific needs are met and that the work is completed in a timely and professional manner.
