Understanding what underground utilities are within and adjoining your site will benefit a project through its lifecycle. Designs incorporating underground utilities often avoid costly redesigns resulting from unlocated services discovered during the construction phase and having this information during construction avoids expensive, dangerous and potentially life-threatening utility strikes. Scopus can undertake a range of utilities surveys in accordance with PAS128 from desktop studies, site mapping and verification as well as utility locating and marking out.

At iG Surveys, we specialise in utility surveys, a critical service for mapping and managing underground utilities. Our surveys accurately locate and identify buried services such as water pipes, gas lines, electrical cables, and telecommunications lines. Understanding the subsurface infrastructure is essential for any construction, excavation, or planning project.

Initial Site Assessment: We conduct a thorough assessment of the site to understand the scope and requirements of the survey.

Advanced Detection Techniques: Utilising Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and other electromagnetic location tools, we detect and map the subsurface utilities.

Data Collection and Analysis: Our team collects comprehensive data, which is then carefully analyzed to identify the type and location of each utility.

Marking and Mapping: The identified utilities are marked on-site and plotted on detailed maps for easy interpretation.

Deliverables

Utility Maps: Detailed plans showing the location and depth of underground utilities.

Report and Analysis: Comprehensive report detailing the findings, including the type and condition of the utilities.

GIS Data Integration (optional): Incorporating survey data into Geographic Information Systems for enhanced analysis and planning.
