A local council required a utility survey for a section of road.

The purpose of the survey was to aid in the redesign of the road layout, which included the potential diversion of existing utilities. After liaising with the client, it was decided that an M2 PAS:128 utility survey would be the best option for the site.

 

Challenges

• Working in an area of high pedestrian footfall.
• Working in an area with road traffic.
• Potentially congested utilities in footpath.

Challenges

• Working in an area of high pedestrian footfall.
• Working in an area with road traffic.
• Potentially congested utilities in footpath.

Results

• Works were completed within the specified timescales in a safe and successful way.
• Electro-Magnetic Location (EML) was the primary method used for utility detection, alongside ground penetrating radar (GPR) for non-conductive utilities as well as surface inspection of manholes.
• Barriers were used to ensure the safety of the public by cordoning off workspaces.
• A night shift was undertaken to ensure the safety of the surveying team whilst undertaking the survey of the roads.

 

Deliverables

– Fully layered and annotated 2D/3D AutoCAD DWG.

– PDF of drawing sheets.
