It is an HSE recommendation (HSG47) that before undertaking any below surface excavation works a Statutory Plans Search is carried out.
Statutory Records can be an invaluable guide to the below surface utility infrastructure. But often, they do not provide a comprehensive and up-to-date record. Therefore, these records should ideally be used as a precursor to a full, non-invasive utility detection survey such as the SUMO Survey or PAS 128 Survey. Through our Statutory Search partner, we offer a unique, bespoke service, tailored to your specific project requirements.
Industry specific searches:
• Telecommunications • Fibre Optics • Gas Pipelines • Water Mains • Sewers • Electric cables
Statutory Plans can be provided for services covering up to a square kilometre, with a visual overview map of the search area defined by the client.
A summary report showing list of the Statutory Undertakers consulted and which distinguishes between plant affected / not affected and nil responses are provided on CD ROM in a pdf format.
Paper copies are also available; please speak to a member of staff for pricing.
We have four levels of Statutory Plan collation services dependant on your time requirements:
• Urgent 48 Hour Service as a priority • 5 Working Day Service • 10 Working Day Service
• 20 Working Day Service
Please speak to a member of the team regarding the urgency of records, and we will be happy to help you further.
