A utility survey involves the systematic investigation and mapping of underground utilities and services in a particular area. It's conducted to identify, locate, and map the various utility lines such as water pipes, gas lines, electric cables, telecommunication lines, and sewer systems.
These surveys are critical in construction and development projects to prevent accidental damage to existing utilities. By using a combination of ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic locators, and other latest technology, our surveyors can create accurate maps and reports detailing the location and depth of these utilities. The information gathered from these surveys helps in planning, design, and execution of projects to avoid potential disruptions, accidents, or costly damage to essential infrastructure.
What is PAS 128? PAS 128 stands for Publicly Available Specification 128, a standard used in the United Kingdom that provides guidelines for locating underground utilities. It offers a framework for managing utility infrastructure during excavation or construction projects. The specification categorizes the quality of location information about underground utilities into four defined levels (PAS 128 Quality Levels) ranging from D (Desktop) to A (Verification). These levels help ensure safety and reduce the risk of damaging underground utilities during construction or excavation work.
Here at Plot. Surveys Ltd we are able to provide surveys that are fully compliant with the BSI's PAS 128 specification.
Here are several key reasons why customers, particularly those involved in construction, excavation, or development projects, should consider using utility surveys:
In conclusion, utility surveys are an indispensable tool for anyone involved in construction, excavation, or development projects. They enhance safety, save costs, ensure legal compliance, improve project efficiency, protect the environment, and provide valuable data for long-term planning.
