When Is Electromagnetic Detection Needed?

Our services are crucial whenever there are plans for excavation or construction activities. Utility detection is necessary before any groundwork to prevent accidental damage to buried services like electricity cables, gas lines, sewer pipes, or water pipes.

We employ various techniques, including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic induction, to identify these utilities accurately. These methods help pinpoint the location of non-metallic and metallic pipes, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

Identifying these utilities minimises risks and aids compliance with safety regulations, such as the PAS 128 specification for underground utility detection. By conducting thorough site surveys, we help reduce project delays and additional costs associated with accidental service strikes.

How Does Electromagnetic Detection Work?

Here’s how we conduct our utility surveys:

1. Initial Consultation: Discuss project needs and survey scope. We identify the specific requirements of your site, including the types of utilities anticipated and any particular concerns you may have.
2. Site Visit: Our team conducts a thorough on-site investigation. Using equipment such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and radio frequency (RF) locators, we assess the area for hidden utilities, ensuring compliance with all health and safety standards.
3. Data Analysis: We interpret electromagnetic signals to locate utilities. This analysis involves charting signals using advanced software to distinguish between water pipes, electrical cables, and fibre-optic lines, among others.
4. Report Delivery: Detailed findings provided in a report. This report includes visual maps and technical data, helping engineers and contractors make informed decisions during the planning and construction phases.
