Cornerstone Projects provide desktop underground services searches for anyone needing to locate buried services such as electricity cables, gas pipes, water mains, sewers etc. This information could be used to determine the proximity of services to a new development, to enable excavation works to be carried out safely, to determine whether a particular area of land is suitable prior to an acquisition, or for numerous other reasons.
Before proceeding with the acquisition or development of a site for any reason it makes sense to check what services run underneath it - these may render the site unsuitable for construction works.
Any organisation that carries out construction or building works involving sub-surface excavation works are required by the Health and Safety Executive to obtain information on buried services and apparatus that may exist before starting work.
Knowing the whereabouts of buried plant is important not only from a health and safety viewpoint but is necessary to avoid potentially expensive damage to services as well as the related cost of the delay and disruption.
Our service is of benefit to many different types of companies including:
• streetworks contractors
• telecommunications acquisition,planning or design contractors
• architects
• builders
• surveyors
• construction companies
• anybody intending to carry out an excavation
We will collate information from all the relevant utility companies on your behalf and compile a pack of information and plans for each site.
Information will be provided for the following services as applicable:
* Water
* Gas
* Electricity
* Sewers
* Telecoms
* Petroleum pipes
* Cable
If you have any special requirements we can also provide these - for example, mining reports.
