Utility Detection

Utility detection surveys include accurate recordings through the use of Total Station surveying techniques. Depending on your needs and requirements, a utility detection survey can also feature additional details such as fixed surface utility features, including valve boxes, inspection chambers, and key topographic features, including building, fence and kerb lines and street furniture. Streets, buildings and house names and numbers can also be included.

Utility detection and utility mapping services are perfect for those who need to undertake excavation works on sites where a permanent record is required for future reference. These surveys are also required for pre-construction feasibility and design works.

Underground mapping techniques are considered to be the most comprehensive mapping surveys on the market. Using magnetic and radio frequency indication, along with ground penetrating radar equipment, surveying companies can create a clear picture of your site above and below ground. This provides technical, construction and design teams with vital data for the project. This can include the location of hidden utilities such as water, power, gas and communication, voids, unexploded ordinance, non metallic services, and many other hazards. With this information, you will then be able to determine whether or not existing services need to be re-routed.

Underground mapping surveys can take place in retail and business districts, motorways, pumping stations, green field sites and electricity sub stations.
