Utility Asset Exposure Sydney
Utility Asset Exposure and Service Proving
We support service proving with controlled hydro vacuum exposure so project teams can record the actual position and depth of underground assets.
Service proving
Turn plans and locator marks into visible site evidence
Utility asset exposure is the physical verification stage that follows current plans, markings or locating work. A controlled opening allows the project team to see and measure the service before the next trade continues.
This service is useful when a project needs recorded depth, position, clearance or a visible handover point for water, gas, sewer, electrical, communications or stormwater assets.
Eire provides the hydro vacuum truck and operator for the exposure work. Locating, permits, documentation and the next construction stage remain with the relevant responsible parties on the project.
For broader site support and emergency response, see our Eire Vacuum Services overview for 24/7 work across Greater Sydney.

Before exposure starts
What the project team should define
A useful service-proving handover starts with a clear target and a clear record of what must be confirmed.
The target asset
Provide current plans, markings and the service or crossing that requires physical verification.
The required evidence
Confirm whether the handover needs depth, direction, clearance, photographs or measurements.
The exposure points
Identify how many points are required to prove a route, crossing, bend or congested area.
The next work stage
Tell the operator whether the exposure supports drilling, trenching, repair, design or another controlled activity.
How It Works
Safe, controlled work around live assets
Confirm the target
The site team provides the current service information, marked point and evidence required from the exposure.
Expose the asset
Controlled water and vacuum recovery remove material at the nominated point.
Record the handover
The project team measures, photographs and records the visible asset before work continues.
Service proving guide
What a useful asset exposure records
Service proving turns a plan or locator mark into a visible point that the site team can measure, record and work around.
Actual position
Visually confirm where the service sits rather than relying only on an indicative alignment.
Depth and clearance
Measure cover and nearby clearances before the next stage of work begins.
Recorded evidence
Capture photographs, measurements and the exposed point for the project handover.
Clear responsibility
Keep locating, exposure, documentation and the next work stage clear between the relevant parties.
