Underground Utilities Tracing
The detection and mapping of utility surveys can be one of the most beneficial surveys done before a building project.
What is a Utility Survey?
It is a series of non-intrusive measurements undertaken before site works commencing. They can locate the positions of buried services and help reduce costly delays and risks. They can be used across all locations and projects from industrial, commercial, and new builds to rural areas and city centre sites.
What is it used for?
Utility surveys are used to locate underground pipelines and wires to locate water, power, gas, telecommunications, fibre optics, and drainage so that these services are not disturbed during any building or excavation works. We can cross-reference our findings with local utility drawing records.
What are the benefits of an Utility Survey?
What can you expect from our Utility Survey?
EMP Surveys uses radio detection and ground penetrating radar techniques to locate underground utilities. The services can be mapped accurately, and results supplied in CAD format.

Verification (PAS 128 type A)
This type of survey can complement a detection survey (survey type B). By visual inspection, we can obtain further information to improve the confidence level and obtain additional information about a particular service. Visual inspection of a service can be via access points such as manhole / inspection chamber, or by its excavation and exposure. For further details about confined space entry or utility excavation, please contact us to discuss further.
Detection (PAS 128 type B)
Site reconnaissance (PAS 128 type C)
Desktop utility records search (PAS 128 type D)
This survey type would be in the form of a report identifying all known utility owners and their assets within an area including a list of affected and non-affected providers, along with any plans, maps, and diagrams provided. The deliverable would be in the form of a PDF document containing all information.
