Detection of Underground Services
With our background in multi utility engineering and light railway systems we are an ideal choice of contractor to undertake surveys to establish the location of underground services. Our service is available to utility companies, developers, and local government organisations.
In accordance with the Specification for Underground Utility Detection, Verification and Location (PAS 128:2014) we are widely experienced in the use and interpretation of Ground Penetrating Radar and Electromagnetic Detection equipment to precisely locate underground services. We are also experienced in the provision of trial hole surveys.
We produce photographic and CAD reports verified by the survey and field inspection of manholes, valves and inspection covers. All items are digitally mapped, recorded on CAD /PDF with digital images as required.
The location of underground services leads to safer working and reduces the risk of damage to utility services.
