UNDERGROUND SURVEYING

Underground and Site Investigations

An Underground survey is an essential part of any site investigation in building construction. It identifies safe areas ahead of any invasive works, with the results confirming evidence of previous site use to allow you to fully understand below-ground site conditions.

Using the latest equipment, such as ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic equipment, Survey Solutions can identify and position underground geological features and relics of previous site use. This ground investigation is beneficial for projects taking place on brownfield sites where there has been previous or extensive use. Details the Underground survey can identify include voids, basements, shafts, storage tanks, foundations, steelwork, reinforced mesh, graves, or even unexploded ordnance.

Data from the Underground survey is marked up on site and incorporated into the wider survey project, where we can also capture the above-ground features with an in-depth topographical survey.

What else can I get from a ground investigation?

Other frequent requests for our services include Borehole soil investigations and trial pits, piling, and window sampling clearance surveys. Pinpointing specific locations for boreholes, we scan the ground beneath to ensure these will not impact on utilities or cause any below ground obstructions.
