Utility searches
PAS 128 Survey Type D searches compiling available statutory utility records for the proposed site.

Know the ground.
Test the anchor.
Site intelligence for temporary, modular and semi-permanent commercial structures, from utility records and detection through to anchor testing and recorded results.
Request a site review ↗01 Before installation
Know the ground before the structure arrives.
HEXCO supports contractors, structure suppliers and operators with evidence to plan around buried services, site constraints and proposed anchor locations.
The scope is tailored to the footprint, ground works, anchorage proposal, programme and outputs required by the wider project team.
02 Ground surveying services
From records
to results.
A coordinated survey and testing package, or an individual service where the requirement is already defined.
GPR & utility mapping
On-site detection using Ground Penetrating Radar and electromagnetic location to investigate buried services.
- GPR and EML survey
- Surface marking of detections
- Positioned CAD and PDF outputs
Ground & anchor surveys
Site attendance to review proposed structure and anchor locations and record visible constraints.
- Structure footprint review
- Anchor-position assessment
- Recorded observations
Anchor pull testing
Trial pull-out and installed-anchor proof testing against engineer-specified loads and acceptance criteria.
- Trial anchor testing
- Installation proof tests
- Results and photographic record
Important: Desktop utility searches provide available record information and do not confirm exact service positions. On-site detection, safe excavation practices and the project-specific risk assessment remain essential.
03 Ground-survey workflow
One coordinated
workstream.
The sequence is agreed around the proposed footprint, anchorage system and project programme.
- 01
Define the requirement
Review drawings, footprint, ground works, anchorage proposal and existing information.
- 02
Search, detect & map
Obtain records and undertake the agreed on-site survey and positioning.
- 03
Test & report
Complete specified testing and issue clear results, drawings and photographic evidence.
