Minimise Risk

It is always worth getting a professional to check before you start on any construction project, whether you are planning a small house extension or building an office block.

 Cutting through utility pipes can be disastrous for any project, so it is an essential check before going ahead with work. By having a comprehensive utility location survey you can ensure that work won't be halted and avoid expensive repairs to utility services. 

By eliminating this risk you can safely get on with work knowing exactly where any utility cables may be and how deep or far they run.

FAQ's

What sort of cables can we find?

There is a wide range of subterranean cables located underground, including power cables and fibre optic cables used to carry data both internationally and to people's homes.

What happens if I cut through a cable?

Depending on the cable, you could either give yourself a big repair job or cause much more serious problems for the wider community. Cutting through power cables is expensive to reverse, and damaged data cables could leave an entire town disconnected for quite some time. By taking as many precautions as possible, you can keep both yourself, and your community, powered up and connected.

How do you find cables?

By using the latest technology, including thermal imaging and frequency tracking, we can find cables at a range of depths and track their route across your property. This ensures your cables are safe all the way through your property, rather than just risking damage further down the line.
