Trusted Pipeline Surveyors for Civil & Infrastructure Works

MCS Surveyors provide high-precision pipeline surveying services to support the planning, design, construction and management of underground utility infrastructure across Sydney and regional New South Wales. Whether you are installing new pipelines, updating existing services, or conducting as-built documentation, our experienced team delivers reliable survey data that ensures accuracy, safety and long-term compliance.

With over 30 years of experience in civil and infrastructure surveying, MCS Surveyors is a trusted partner to utility providers, civil contractors, engineers and local councils. We use advanced positioning technology and robust field methods to deliver consistent, certified results tailored to your project’s needs.

What Is a Pipeline Survey?

A pipeline survey is a detailed measurement of the position, alignment and elevation of underground pipelines such as:

Water mains
Sewer lines
Stormwater pipelines
Gas pipelines
Industrial process pipes
Telecommunications conduits

These surveys are used during all stages of the pipeline lifecycle, including feasibility, route planning, construction set out, compliance, and as-constructed documentation.

Our surveys help ensure that pipelines are installed within the approved design corridor, meet regulatory requirements, and avoid conflicts with other underground assets.

When Do You Need a Pipeline Survey?

Pipeline surveying is essential for a wide range of civil, commercial and infrastructure projects. You may need one when:

Planning or designing new underground pipeline infrastructure
Establishing alignment for long-distance utilities such as water mains or sewer mains
Setting out trenches or pipe routes during construction
Verifying installation accuracy for compliance and certification
Creating as-built records for asset owners and local authorities
Integrating pipeline data into digital twin or GIS platforms

Whether you are building a new subdivision, upgrading a utility corridor, or developing public infrastructure, our surveys support every stage of the pipeline process.

What Our Pipeline Surveys Include

MCS Surveyors tailor each pipeline survey to your scope of work, but a typical pipeline survey may include:

Horizontal and vertical alignment of pipeline centreline
Pipe invert levels and diameter
Pipe material, condition and connection points
Manholes, pits, valves and service entries
Existing ground surface levels above pipeline
Crossings, offsets and clearances from other services
Compliance with project design, easements or corridor boundaries

We deliver your survey data in clear, compliant formats suitable for engineering design, construction, council lodgement or digital integration.

Technology We Use

Our team employs advanced survey tools to deliver pinpoint accuracy on even the most complex pipeline projects:

Robotic Total Stations
for precise distance and angle measurements
GNSS/GPS Survey Equipment
for geospatial positioning over large or remote areas
3D Laser Scanning
to capture pipe networks and structures in full spatial context
Pipe Locators and GPR
to locate non-metallic or undocumented utilities when required
CAD and GIS Integration
for delivering results in the formats your team needs

All data is checked, processed and signed off by registered professionals to meet legal and project-specific requirements.

Scope Review and Project Planning

We collaborate with your engineers, contractors or project managers to define survey scope, accuracy requirements and deliverables.

On-site Field Survey

Our team attends the site with the appropriate technology to map, locate and measure the pipeline or corridor as needed.

Data Processing and Drafting

We process the collected data to create clear, accurate plans or digital models, depending on your project needs.

Certification and Delivery

Final survey plans are checked, certified by a registered surveyor, and delivered in your preferred format (PDF, DWG, GIS-compatible, etc.).

Ongoing Support

We remain available throughout the project to assist with resurveying, progress checks, variations, or certification updates.
