Land and geospatial surveying
Underground Services Detection
Utility detection surveys that find what is buried before you break ground. We locate and mark cables, pipes and services so you can dig with confidence and avoid a costly strike.
The survey
Know What Is Buried
Underground services detection maps the utilities hidden below your site. Electricity, gas, water, telecoms and drainage, all located and marked out before anyone puts a spade in the ground.
We use industry-standard equipment to trace buried services and mark their position on the ground and on a plan. It is a simple step that prevents expensive, dangerous and disruptive strikes on live services. Cheap insurance against a very expensive mistake.

Before you dig
One Survey, No Nasty Surprises
Hitting a live cable or a gas main is dangerous, expensive and completely avoidable. A detection survey takes that risk off the table before works start.
You get the services marked clearly on the ground and set out on a plan you can share with your team and contractors. Everyone knows where the risks are before the digging starts. It protects your people, your programme and your budget, all for the cost of a short survey.
