About our underground survey
Delivering precise underground survey and utility mapping
At Red Laser, our team is committed to delivering reliable data about underground services location, subsurface features and their conditions to support informed decision-making. We identify and measure subsurface structures and features, including voids and buried utilities such as gas mains, water lines, and communication cables. All our underground surveys are conducted in strict compliance with PAS128 standards, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and reliability.
Our underground surveys services
We offer a comprehensive range of underground and utility survey services, including:
Utility surveys
Identify and map underground utilities to prevent disruptions and ensure safe project execution.
CCTV drainage survey
Conduct thorough inspections using CCTV technology to identify conditions, blockages or damages in drainage systems, preventing future complications.
GPR surveys
Utilise high-quality Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) equipment to detect subsurface anomalies in a non-intrusive manner, providing precise data for your project.
Concrete scanning
Perform detailed scans of concrete structures to locate embedded reinforcements, ensuring safety and efficiency of construction actvities.
PAS 128 survey
Following PAS128 standard for underground utility detection, delivering reliable and standardised underground survey results.
Culvert inspection and cleaning
Inspect and clean culverts to ensure proper drainage and prevent blockages that could lead to flooding or structural damage.

What is an underground survey?
Underground utility surveys focus on detecting, locating, and verifying all statutory services and other subsurface structures and features. This non-intrusive survey minimises the disruption and exposure to buried hazards while accurately recording underground utility features and locations.
Why would you consider doing an underground mapping survey?
Avoid excessive excavation and the modification of grounds and sites. Our experienced surveyors use the latest electromagnetic scan, Ground Penetrating Radar and their expertise to identify the subsurface environment and features when underground mapping. Our utility surveyors will identify all of the below features for a smoother process.
What is the process of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)?
This equipment works by transmitting a pulse into the ground, which is recorded on site. The strength of the signal is transmitted back to the GPR unit and is translated into images of the objects underneath the ground.
How does your team conduct underground mapping services?
Our team of experienced surveyors uses the latest underground surveying equipment to identify and produce highly accurate data on the subsurface environment to provide the vital details needed for your project planning including buried objects, infrastructures, layers under the ground, and services.

What deliverables will you receive?
What are the limitations of underground surveying?
Depending on the depth and the type of utility being surveyed, underground mapping also has limitations, such as accessibility. That is why our team ensures that all means and efforts are executed using a range of techniques and tools to provide satisfying results.
