Underground Utilities & Drainage Surveys
The location of underground services is often a critical factor in any development – the cost and time scale involved in re-routing services, or having non-existent services supplied can be a decisive factor on the viability of a scheme. It is also vitally important to ensure that existing services are identified and accurately mapped to ensure site safety when digging or building commences. Preparation of detailed digital CAD drawings based on accurate topographical/land survey information can be essential.
We offer a wide range of services including:
- Underground utility mapping
- PAS128 surveys
- CCTV drainage condition Surveys
- Drainage connectivity surveys
- GPR void detection
- Borehole clearance
- Desktop utility searches
Our team’s extensive experience together with our use of the best modern underground mapping equipment helps eliminate the need to excavate. We use two main methods of underground utility detection to help us pick up the different materials used in underground pipework and cabling:
Electromagnetic Location (EML)
The latest Radio Detection equipment is used along with signal generators and asset plans supplied by the utility companies, so that we can locate metal objects and provide details of the service locations.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Where non-metallic pipes such as plastic or asbestos cement are detected, we use GPR to indicate the presence of services and voids.
Pipe and cable depths, locations and routes are very important to record from a health and safety, time, and money point of view. We have staff who have undertaken Sygma utility training in the various detection equipment available including Ground Penetration Radar. Borna Surveys will to the best of our ability identify and locate buried utilities but depending on the nature of the site the percentage of all buried utilities detected will vary.
