Utility Surveys | London
Accurate Underground Mapping For All London Projects.
What Is a Utility Survey?
A utility survey provides crucial information about underground services on your site. These surveys are vital for preventing accidental damage to utilities during excavation or for identifying the location of services to avoid disruption during planning.
The surveys are conducted using advanced Electromagnetic Locators (EML), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) units, and by inspecting service covers.
We supply existing drawings that indicate the location of metal pipes, plastic pipes, electrical cables, drainage systems, and telecommunications lines. Additionally, we offer borehole clearances and CCTV pipe inspections.
Our qualified surveyors adhere to the British standard PAS 128, ensuring that your land or area is surveyed using proven techniques for maximum accuracy.
How Much Does a Utility Survey Cost?
For projects in London, the cost can be as low as £1,195 + VAT for a small sized plot. This price will of course increase dependant on distance, size, and the level of detail required to record what you need.
Unsure if you need a Utility Survey? These are the key applications:
Construction and Development Projects: Essential for identifying underground utilities before starting any construction or development work.
Infrastructure Maintenance and Upgrades: Useful for infrastructure maintenance, upgrades, or expansions, where knowledge of existing utilities is crucial.
Land Development Planning: Provides crucial data for planning purposes, especially when adding to or modifying existing land or structures.
Risk Management in Excavation: Aids in risk assessment and management by providing accurate information on buried utilities.
Utility Mapping: Offers detailed mapping of various underground services like electricity cables, drainage systems, and telecommunication lines.
Why Is an Accurate Survey Important?
Accuracy is crucial in surveying. Precise data leads to fewer errors and delays, which in turn helps to minimise costs.
If you are planning to extend your land and are concerned about services running through it, a utility survey is essential. Without knowledge of the utilities beneath the site, most contractors will be reluctant to take on the work, as damaging a vital service could lead to significant replacement costs. A utility survey will identify the locations of these services, allowing them to be avoided, thereby preventing major delays and expenses.
