SUBSURFACE SURVEY

What is a Subsurface Survey?

Subsurface surveys aim to identify and verify the location and depth of buried services, features, materials, and voids. This provides you with the geospatial certainty needed to plan, design and construct with confidence. 

Our subsurface survey services can be used for design and site verification to instil confidence in designers to avoid design clashes or interference with existing infrastructures. As a result, contractors can excavate the ground with a higher degree of confidence that they won’t strike or damage a buried service. Consequently, this reduces the costly and dangerous risk of utility strikes, as well as the impact to services, project delays, design changes, fines, and reputational damage.

Underground utility surveys

Underground utility surveys aim to identify and verify the location and depth of buried services, features, materials, and voids. Our surveys are  compliant to provide clients with the geospatial certainty needed to plan, design and construct with confidence.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

GPR survey is a great option for a non-invasive subsurface survey for the detection of buried objects, utilities, and structures in the subsurface. GPR survey provides valuable information for archaeological studies, construction projects, and environmental assessments.

CCTV Surveys

 CCTV surveys are types of subsurface surveys which provide detailed visual information about the condition of underground pipes, sewers, and utilities without the need for costly excavation or disruption.

Geophysical surveys

Geophysical surveys provide information about the subsurface geology, helping to identify potential hazards, locate natural resources, and plan construction projects.

What are the benefits of a subsurface survey?

  • Reduction in the probability of a utility strike occurring during the course of a construction project, reducing risk and potential costs, programmed delays and reputational damage
  • Reduction in the need for exposing buried services prior to site excavation using slit trenches/trial pits or vacuum excavation/potholing procedures, saving time and money
  • Identify important subsurface features such as underground utilities, buried foundations, and geological formations
  • Reduce the risk of encountering unforeseen subsurface hazards or obstacles during construction or excavation
  • Provide crucial information about the soil and rock properties, stability, and composition to help Engineers and Architects plan and design structures such as buildings, bridges, and roads, thereby ensuring their stability and safety, and longevity
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Safety of construction workers and the public.
















 A well designed and executed survey is expected to be able to detect around 80% to 95% of utilities, but it might not be possible to achieve a 100% detection rate. 

What can a subsurface survey be used for?
