Targeted search and discovery of utilities on site.

Utility Searches and Surveys are essential for all projects, often leading to the discovery of unknown buried utilities that must be catered for during a Site Investigation and in the project’s design.

This ensures that any potential risks or obstacles are clearly identified, helping to prevent damage to utilities and ensuring that any construction work is planned safely and efficiently.

The Utility Searches and Surveys are designed to identify and document pipelines, electrical and telecommunication cables, and water and sewer systems on the site.

These searches involve a desk-based study where records and drawings from various utility providers are obtained and reviewed.

In addition to reviewing these documents, on-site utility surveys are often required for more precise information.

Specialist surveyors are commissioned to use techniques such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic detection to map underground utilities accurately.

All the findings are marked out on drawings and on-site for the convenience of each project.
