During the initial periods of installing services, future safety methods were not taken into consideration as they are today. Except from the reliable hand digging trial holes, is there currently an innovative method of detecting Water and Gas plastic pipes (old pipes - without metalic elements)?

Ground Penetrating Radar. "Detecting" isn't quite the same as "locating", but it can tell you where to trial dig.

Dowsing for water pipes? Not sure about gas though.

The scientific world tends to poo-poo dowsing/ divining. That said, I tried it once with 2 pieces of bent wire and...............it worked!
