Locating Reticulation Piping & Solenoids
Reticulation Piping & Solenoids – Many properties and businesses use reticulation piping to water and maintain gardens, lawns and crops.
Some industrial businesses also use reticulation water for dust suppression and stockpile fire prevention.
Reticulation piping is generally polyolefin (poly) pipe or PVC, which varies in size and layout depending on the design of each property.
Other reticulation piping materials may include galvanised steel or copper pipe.
Westscan Service: We use ground penetrating radar and cable locating equipment to scan the area, locate reticulation piping and solenoids, and mark their positions on the ground.
Benefits of locating reticulation piping & solenoids:
- Mapping an existing property for new landscaping
- Locating solenoids for repair and replacement
- Tracing piping to find junction points
When do you need reticulation located?
Reticulation is often installed without any plans, and over the years solenoid boxes get buried under lawn, garden beds or paving. Our Perth clients usually call us when they:
- Can't find a solenoid valve box that needs repair or replacement
- Have bought a property with no information about the existing reticulation
- Are planning landscaping, paving, a pool or new garden beds
- Need to repair a broken line or find where a zone is fed from
- Manage large grounds, farms or industrial sites with extensive watering systems
How we locate reticulation pipes and solenoids
Solenoid valves are connected to the controller by low-voltage wires, which we can trace with a cable locator to find buried valve boxes. Ground penetrating radar (GPR) helps us detect the poly and PVC pipes themselves. We then mark the pipes and solenoids on the ground so you know exactly where they are before you dig.
