Utility Surveys | London
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.

Why Is an Accurate Survey Important?
Accuracy is what every surveyor prides themselves in. Accurate data means much less mistakes and delays which minimises costs, ensuring everyone is happy and projects are running smoothly, if not more efficient.
If you want to modify your land or area around the building and suspect services running through it, then a utility survey is essential. Without knowing where utilities are, most contractors will not take a job because they are worried about hitting a vital utility/service which can be very costly to replace if damaged and cause delays.
A Utility survey will be able to show where services run and how deep they are, which means that it will be able to be included in the planning phase for the designers to work around, and also excavation contractors will be careful around areas where utilities have been detected, which means making the whole project more efficient! Saving costs and making the project run potentially faster.
