OFFERING
Utility Surveying
EML Surveying
We excel in delivering precise PAS128 compliant surveys for mapping underground utilities. Our surveying process incorporates cutting-edge electromagnetic location (EML) equipment and our staff consist of highly skilled utility mapping surveyors with extensive experience.
Topographical Survey
Our topographical surveys map natural and man-made features, providing essential data for site planning. We use GPS and advanced tools to ensure high accuracy, with options to overlay data onto National Grid and Ordnance Datum.
GPR Surveying
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) detects non-metallic utilities and subsurface features with high accuracy. It helps identify buried hazards like culverts, tanks, and tunnels, providing detailed data for safer, more efficient site work.
Utility Surveying
Our PAS128-compliant utility surveys use advanced equipment to map underground utilities with high accuracy. We ensure complete site visibility and minimize risks with reliable, real-time data on utility locations.
Desktop Utility Records Search
We provide a clear utility plan by compiling asset records from multiple utility providers, ensuring compliance with PAS-128 and safety regulations. Delivered in an easy-to-use PDF format, it helps minimize planning delays and simplifies the design process.

Frequently Asked Questions
PAS128 is the British Standard for underground utility detection, verification, and location. It ensures that utility surveys meet recognized accuracy levels, providing confidence in the data and helping to avoid costly disruptions during construction. Using PAS128-compliant methods guarantees precise results for better planning and safer excavation.
We use a combination of advanced surveying methods, including Electromagnetic Location (EML), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and geophysical techniques. Our highly trained surveyors follow strict PAS128 guidelines to ensure accuracy, and we employ post-processing software to further enhance the data quality, providing reliable and precise utility mapping.
The duration of a utility survey depends on the size and complexity of the site. Typically, a survey can be completed within a few days to a week. Once completed, we provide detailed reports and maps in various formats, including PDFs, CAD, and GIS, depending on your project needs. We always aim to meet deadlines and ensure minimal disruption to your work schedule.
