WHAT IS A UNDERGROUND UTILITY SURVEY?
An underground utility location and mapping survey is a process used to detect, identify, and map the positions of underground utilities such as pipes, cables, and other infrastructure. Using specialised equipment, the survey helps ensure accurate and comprehensive data about the location of utilities beneath the surface. This information is crucial for construction, excavation, and infrastructure projects to avoid damaging existing utilities, ensure safety, and minimise disruptions. The resulting maps provide a clear visual representation of where utilities are located, aiding in informed decision-making during project planning and execution

WHAT ARE UNDERGROUND UTILITY SURVEYS USED FOR?

Underground Utility Surveys are used in various applications, including:

​

  • Construction Planning: Identifying the location of utilities to avoid damaging them during building projects.

  • Excavation Safety: Ensuring safe digging by pinpointing utilities like gas lines, water pipes, and electrical cables.

  • Infrastructure Maintenance: Locating utilities for repair, maintenance, or upgrades without disrupting services.

  • Urban Development: Planning new developments while considering existing underground infrastructure.

  • Environmental Protection: Preventing environmental damage by avoiding utility strikes that could lead to hazardous leaks.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Meeting legal requirements for identifying utilities before starting construction or excavation
