UIA began with a simple belief: every project deserves certainty. In an industry where a single unknown underground asset can derail timelines, inflate budgets, or put people at risk, Chris Gordon saw an opportunity to raise the standard — not just for locating services, but for how the entire process is communicated, delivered, and trusted.
After years of working across Melbourne and Greater Victoria in operations, service location, and technical compliance, Chris recognised a gap. Too many contractors were forced to make decisions based on incomplete information. Too many reports lacked clarity. Too many projects were slowed by avoidable surprises beneath the surface.
UIA delivers a comprehensive range of construction support services designed to help contractors, engineers, and project managers work with confidence. Operating across Melbourne and Greater Victoria, we specialise in underground service detection, non‑destructive digging (NDD), surveying, and advanced data management solutions that ensure every project is safe, compliant, and backed by accurate information.
Our team combines industry‑leading technology with AS5488‑aligned methodologies to provide reliable subsurface intelligence and high‑quality reporting for civil construction, infrastructure upgrades, utilities, and development projects.
Our team is made up of skilled and experienced professionals who are dedicated to providing the best possible service to our clients.
