When you might need Utility Survey
People usually request this service when a property or site needs dependable performance, when repairs become more frequent, or when a planned project requires the right groundwork before later stages begin.
It is equally relevant where structural movement, access limits, or planning expectations make a straightforward fix unrealistic without a proper assessment first. In decision-stage terms, this is often where teams move from broad options into method selection, sequencing, and budget alignment.
In practice, a clear plan from the start gives owners, facilities teams, and contractors a safer path to completion with fewer surprises during delivery.
How the service works
Delivery is structured so scope, dependencies, and sign-off stay clear from the first assessment through to handover.
Step 1: Review of existing records and project information
What this step delivers: This step keeps utility survey delivery predictable and aligned to project requirements.
Step 2: On-site survey using electromagnetic (EML) and GPR techniques
What this step delivers: You get a clear technical baseline for utility survey decisions in Camden.
Step 3: Mark-up of detected services on the ground where required
What this step delivers: This step keeps utility survey delivery predictable and aligned to project requirements.
Step 4: Correlation of survey results with statutory records
What this step delivers: You get a clear technical baseline for utility survey decisions in Camden.
Step 5: Production of utility drawings with quality level classifications
What this step delivers: This step keeps utility survey delivery predictable and aligned to project requirements.
Utility surveys locate and map buried services such as electric, gas, water, telecoms and drainage. They reduce the risk of service strikes, programme delays and unplanned costs during groundworks and infrastructure projects.
