Underground Utility Surveys
Utility surveys are a non-intrusive form of survey where underground services such as water, gas, electricity, telecoms, and drainage systems, are mapped, recorded, and presented on a drawing. At Ryder Geospatial, our team uses Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electro-Magnetic Locators (EML), as well as CCTV units to survey the area.
The technologies that we use is to interpret reflected signals from structures, buried objects, and layers beneath the ground. Therefore, they provide vital information and details required for anyone planning projects in the area that may potentially disrupt these features.
Our team at Ryder Geospatial have the knowledge and expertise to overcome any limitations, and can ensure our clients receive detailed, thorough, and accurate results and reports.
