Utility Survey

As you make plans to develop a site, it is important to be aware of any underground utilities on the property. Being conscious of these services enables you to make cost-effective and loss-reducing plans. There are times when the location of utilities such as cables, pipes, ducts and sewers, as well as surface water drainage, is not properly documented on inferior quality maps. At times, some of these cases involve utilities not being recorded at all.

A topographical survey may not detect all of these utilities, and you may be unable to get a clear picture of what you have underground. It would, therefore, make a lot of sense to involve a team of specialists who are qualified and knowledgeable in utility survey. Indigo Surveys Ltd is involved in a range of top-quality surveys. We employ cutting-edge technologies and innovative procedures to detect, trace and map any information on the utilities at your site.

Our Indigo Surveys specialists are operational from Chester, London and Birmingham. We administer quality underground utility survey services from our Chester office. This allows us to reach towns and cities throughout the UK swiftly. So, if you are looking forward to developing a site, contact us for tailored services designed to suit your needs.

What is a Utility Survey?

As a property owner, manager or developer, it is useful to have an idea of exactly what a utility survey is and what is involved in utility mapping surveys. The survey, in simple terms, involves:

• detecting,
• identifying,
• and tracing buried utilities at a site.

At Indigo Surveys, we get a topographical surveyor to utilise a supplied land survey plan if it is available when offering underground utility survey. These steps form a base layer, which enables us to survey and map underground utility services and existing utilities atop.

To dramatically increase the level of accuracy and volume of utilities to be traced, we employ electromagnetic and Ground Penetrating Radar systems (GPR). This might prove very useful, especially for services not documented at all. As mentioned earlier, some utilities may not be recorded.

Our specialist surveyors at Indigo Surveys, also offer an alternative whereby we integrate utility record search data for full utility mapping surveys. These we present using AutoCAD in detailed and accurate .dwg and .pdf formats.

Why Do You Need Utility Mapping Surveys?

Getting into any project without a utility survey is not advisable. It is recommended that you get a quality survey that will identify the services available on a site. Doing this can play a great role in minimising project delays. It is not advised to commence on a project blindly without considering the availability of utilities. These services may be damaged, something that can halt an entire project. Of course, that could lead to incurring damage costs. Basically, underground utility surveys are for the safety of the workers on a site, for the public, and to protect you from risk.

When done prior to any project, a utility survey saves lots of unnecessary costs. Once you enlist our expertise, we will use our skills, resources and experience to recognise any constraints that could have an impact on designing and planning. Some intrusive investigation processes like silt trenching cover just a small percentage of a site under development. With utility mapping surveys, such procedures are reduced, since the survey provides the client with an overall view of the site instead.
