Utility Mapping Survey

  1. Client to provide all private and statutory service plans (STATS) for the site and adjacent area of survey operations.
  2. Suitable topographical base mapping to be provided by the client prior to mobilisation to site. If unavailable or unsuitable, LandScope can complete at an additional cost.

  4. LandScope Engineering Ltd endeavour to supply the most accurate data possible through the employment of technology and methodology at the forefront of our industry. Although we take great care in the detection of pipe-work and buried features, as with all methods the information is derived from electrical and radar scans and as such may be subject to distortion and error beyond the reasonable control of the operator and associated instrumentation. A correction factor will be applied where such distortion or error is evident, but no responsibility can be accepted for errors, omissions or incorrect data resulting from such. It should also be noted that radar based remote sensing technology does not perform well in very wet and clay-based soils.
  5. The quality, completeness and accuracy of Ground Penetrating Radar survey will be adversely affected by:
    • Poor ground conditions – for example clay-based soils
    • Saturated / waterlogged areas
    • Overgrown or uneven sites
    • The proximity of parked cars or other such metallic objects
  6. The site is to be clear of all obstructions that may hinder the progress of the proposed survey. Inspection and man-hole covers are assumed to be available for visual inspection access and deployment of radio sonde, where applicable.
    • The client accepts that areas of dense vegetation not cleared prior to survey may only be partially surveyed where accessible.
    • No allowance has been made for sub-surface entry into manholes or other confined spaces below ground level. Therefore, any details relating to depths, sizes etc. are taken from the surface and as such will be approximations only.
  7. It is assumed unrestricted access to manholes will be permitted – i.e. it is not restricted by site plant, parked cars, fixtures, fittings etc.
  8. Where access to inspection chambers or manholes cannot be reasonably achieved with hand tools within 10 minutes, the cover shall be deemed unliftable.
    • Failure to map or trace any declared service will be noted and annotated as taken from either statutory or private records / plans.
    • Where possible depth estimations from radiolocation or GPR will be supplied.
  9. If any survey deliverables are required to a non-OS grid/datum (Snake Grid, specific scale factors etc) LandScope reserve the right to charge for the additional processing time incurred.
  10. The following services may be excluded from our survey:
    • Blocked or non-accessible (radio-sonde) drainage pipes
    • Pot ended cables
    • Disused services which may have been disconnected from source / supply point
    • Manhole covers which survey crew are unable to lift after 10 minutes levering with hand tools and hydraulic lifters
    • Service connections that are either unsafe or for which our survey crews have no approved access
    • Internal Services – unless specified otherwise

Although we take great care in the detection and mapping sub-surface features, as with all methods, the information is derived from electrical, magnetic and radar scans and as such may be subject to distortion and error beyond the reasonable control of the operator and associated instrumentation. A correction factor will be applied where such distortion of error is evident, but no responsibility can be accepted for errors, omissions or incorrect data resulting from such. It should be noted that all geophysical systems have inherent strengths and weaknesses depending on the operating environment and the nature of the sub-surface media. LandScope Engineering will undertake to propose the most appropriate survey design for specific site conditions; this may be aided significantly with the supply of site data from customer. LandScope Engineering will report data quality and confidence levels as part of the survey deliverable.

A correction factor will be applied where such distortion of error is evident, but no responsibility can be accepted for errors, omissions or incorrect data resulting from such. LandScope Engineering will report data quality and confidence levels as part of the survey deliverable.

CCTV Drainage Inspection

Please note that CCTV surveys can only be undertaken from accessible manhole chambers / rodding eyes, and manholes should not be restricted by site plant / parked cars / fixtures, fittings etc.
  3. Every effort will be made to lift manholes, and a full complement of lifting equipment will be available to the surveyors. It should be noted that some covers may still prove unable to lift due to obstructions, traffic volumes, damaged covers or covers that require specialist lifting equipment. If it is known that the covers on this site would need specialist lifting equipment, then we would require prior knowledge of this so that we can arrange such equipment and possibly review our quotation.
  4. LandScope will not make any provision to access manholes within private land. Client to arrange access if required.
  5. LandScope has not made any provision for cleaning or unblocking of the drainage system. If required, this will be charged at cost +15%.
