Marking out of utilities should be carried out prior to any excavation or drilling as a rule, rather than the exception.

Existing data on buried assets is often inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Failure to establish the accurate position of a buried utility or other potential hazard is not only costly, but has serious health and safety implications. 40SEVEN can be applied to a wide range of projects and as well as being a comprehensive and convenient method of identifying the precise location of utilities, it is cost-effective and safer compared with traditional excavation methods.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have published a revised document on avoiding danger from underground services. HSG47 provides important health and safety guidance for all those involved in excavation and underground works. It also applies to those not directly involved in excavation, such as those who provide plans and design service routes.

For cost-effective site mark-outs (including or excluding plastic utilities), 40SEVEN use cable location instruments or ground penetrating radar (GPR) where appropriate to reproduce an accurate layout of utilities on ground level.

This service is typically all about speed: when clients need a responsive, professional mark-out service.
