Utility Stats Search | Desktop Surveys | UK & Ireland

When starting any new development project, ensuring a thorough understanding of the utilities below ground is vital to project success and safety.

What is a Utility Stats Search?

A Utility Stats Search, also known as a Utility Search or C2 Search, is the process of compiling a full pack of utility asset maps within a specified boundary. This investigation provides vital insights into the layout of buried networks, and types of utilities present, enabling informed decision-making and risk mitigation strategies during the construction phase. Our Stats Search service covers sites of all sizes across the UK and Ireland.

Want To Obtain A Qualification In Cable Avoidance? You Need Sygma Solutions

If you wish to become a utility surveyor engaged in the business of locating and identifying underground utility services, you will need a qualification in cable avoidance. The pay and working conditions can be very good, with companies advertising for such positions on Indeed and other platforms. One that we just spotted was offering up to £42,000 p.a. with company pension, life insurance, and flexitime for those with a PAS128 qualification and 2 years’ experience.

The job included company car, laptop, mobile phone, 23 days holiday plus bank holidays, working away bonuses, overtime at enhanced rates (when required) and more. There are lots more jobs like that available too. It is enjoyable work, and no two days are the same because you get to travel to different sites around the country.

Of course, it does mean that you have to have the training and experience in the location of underground utilities, and obviously the first place to start is at what one might call “survey school” which is what we provide at Sygma Solutions.

Many Businesses Today Require A Qualification In Order To Work On Their Sites

Our training courses will enable you to obtain the required qualifications which will permit you to work on some of themost impressive projects in the UK, such as HS2 for example. More and more businesses are requiring such a qualification in cable avoidance before they will permit you to set foot upon their projects!

Our courses go into intense detail in the classroom so that you fully understand what is involved in the location and identification of underground services and learn of all the many different situations. For instance, just to begin with, not all ground is the same. Some may be clay, another chalk, and so on, and this can have an effect on how you go about locating services just to begin with.

Then you need to learn and become fully familiar with the equipment that is used in the process of location, including the CAT and Genny (Cable Avoidance Tool and Signal Generator), and Ground Penetrating Radar as well. Critically, you also have to understand the various situations where it may be possible to get an erroneous signal, or no signal at all, and what to do if this happens. This is essential because these tools do have certain limitations.

Our courses also cover time on site so that you can put what you learned in the classroom into practice. Once you have completed all this, you can then obtain the necessary qualifications to become a professional underground surveyor.

TSA’s latest reference documents provide clarity for clients on PAS 128 compliance

The Survey Association issues new guidance on specifying a utility survey

TSA’s latest reference documents provide clarity for clients on PAS 128 compliance

A new and definitive guide to specifying a PAS128 compliant utility survey, issued by The Survey Association (TSA), aims to demystify a complex technical area and improve communication between clients and practitioners.

The Essential Guide to PAS128 2014 Utility Detection, Verification and Location, and the companion Mini Guide, are the first documents of their kind to include practical advice for clients on using PAS 128 to prepare the appropriate tender documents for their project.

Written by TSA’s technical committee, with input from across the industry, the free-to-download guidance also provides clarity for professionals interpreting PAS 128 to deliver best practice utility surveys at the right price.

Technical content author and TSA Council member, Sam Roberts explains the scope of both the Essential and Mini Guides and who they are aimed at.

‘’The Essential Guide goes into depth on all the techniques used for utility detection, the detail of PAS128, as well as health and safety, traffic management and training issues. It is a substantial reference document and a tool for clients to better understand what they are buying, and therefore to commission a survey company with confidence,’’ he said.

The accompanying Mini Guide is split into sections for ease of reference and focusses on the areas of difficulty raised by clients. The Mini Guide is designed to help engineers, architects and planners easily understand if a quotation is in line with the appropriate PAS128 level in the specification, and to be able to ask the right questions when comparing different proposals.

The Essential Guide to PAS128 2014 Utility Detection, Verification and Location, and the Mini Guide can be downloaded, free of charge at www.tsa-uk.org.uk/downloads

Sam Roberts concluded, ‘’TSA’s new Utility Guidance documents seek to address the misinterpretation and misunderstanding of PAS 128. It is important that clients and those commissioning utility surveys know what they are getting – and what they should be getting, if they specify a PAS128 utility survey.’’

TSA’s Client Guides and Guidance Notes are compiled in consultation with industry experts and are widely consulted by construction and geospatial professionals, nationally and internationally. They provide information on the principles, procedures and regulations affecting specific aspects of survey work.

When the British Standards Institution (BSI) started working on Publicly Available Specification (PAS) 128, titled, Specification for underground utility detection, verification and location, TSA fully supported its production, providing expertise on both the steering group and drafting panel.

TSA’s latest reference documents provide clarity for clients on PAS 128 compliance was first published on http://ukconstructionblog.co.uk
