Desktop Utility Record Search

Prior to carrying out a GPR survey, we always recommend carrying out a desktop utility record search to obtain the statutory record information for the site, particularly if there is a possibility of public utilities passing through the site boundary.

Desktop Utility Record Search

When you commission a Desktop Utility Record Search, our experienced team contacts all relevant utility providers operating within your specified area. We gather and compile existing utility records, providing a clear and comprehensive overview of any buried services that may impact your project. 

In cases where utility providers confirm no buried services in the area, we include this information to give you a full picture of underground networks. These records are invaluable for identifying utilities that may not be easily accessible or locatable during on-site surveys. If certain services cannot be physically detected on-site, our desktop utility records help fill in the gaps, ensuring the most complete and accurate assessment possible.
