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
How We Can Help
Frequently asked questions
Why is a desktop utility record search recommended before a GPR survey?
A desktop utility record search is crucial before conducting a GPR survey to obtain statutory record information for the site. This search helps identify buried services that may not be accessible or identified during the survey, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of underground utilities and minimising risks during excavation or construction projects.
What does the desktop utility record search process entail?
When you commission us for a desktop utility record search, we contact all utility providers operating within the given area. We provide a clear indication of any buried services shown that could impact your area of interest. Additionally, we include information on utility providers contacted that do not show any buried services in the area, ensuring thorough coverage and comprehensive reporting.
What utility providers are covered in the desktop utility record search?
Our search covers all utility providers within the area, including HV & LV Electricity, Water Mains, Gas Mains, Foul Water & Surface Water Drainage, Telecoms Cables, and other Communication/Fibre Optic Cables. This comprehensive coverage ensures that all relevant utilities are accounted for, providing you with essential insights for project planning and risk mitigation.
