• Service Tracing: Precision tracing of conductive services such as electric cables and water lines minimises the risk of accidental damage during excavation. Techniques include the use of signal induction and direct connection methods for reliable results.
• Pre-Construction Surveys: Our surveys include detailed analysis and mapping of utility layouts to identify potential conflicts and facilitate efficient planning and design phases. We adhere to British Standard BS 5930 for site investigations.
• Risk Assessment Consultation: In-depth consultation evaluates potential risks associated with underground utilities. We provide mitigation strategies and compliance with health and safety regulations such as CDM 2015.

By integrating these services, we enhance the safety and efficiency of your construction operation. Contact us for tailored solutions that meet your specific project requirements.

When Is Electromagnetic Detection Needed?

Electromagnetic detection is crucial before any intrusive construction or excavation work begins. It is essential when developing new infrastructure, expanding existing facilities, or carrying out routine maintenance.

This approach is particularly relevant when working near complex utility networks that include electrical cables, gas pipelines, and telecommunication lines.

We use advanced equipment like ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic locators to detect these utilities accurately without needing to disturb the ground first. Our detection services are vital for residential developments, commercial building projects, and large-scale municipal works, helping to identify utilities that could pose hazards or compliance issues.

Employing our services ahead of time helps prevent costly delays and ensures safety by identifying the precise location of underground utilities. This proactive measure supports compliance with safety standards such as PAS 128 and reduces the risk of accidental utility strikes.
