Underground Mapping and Underground Surveying

A full underground survey is the most comprehensive mapping service on the market. Geotec uses complementary techniques, such as lift and look, magnetic and radio frequency indication, ground penetrating radar and other techniques to reveal what is under the ground.

Accurately tying in all the underground details utilising theodolites to ensure the layers of information are added to the map, Geotec builds up a comprehensive picture of the site above and below ground.

Sites can be marked out there and then but the survey is not complete until the surveyor has transferred all the data received onto a clear AutoCAD drawing of the entire survey area.

Geotec takes pride in the fact that the senior surveyor on site is also the one who creates the map, providing complete ownership of the project. The survey provides vital data to the design and construction teams. Geotec can locate:

Hidden services (water, power, gas, communications)
Non-metallic services
Voids
Disturbed and saturated soil
Unexploded ordnance
Other hazards

You can prove your route and determine whether existing services need to be re-routed and pinpoint exactly where trial holes can most safely and effectively be dug.
