Utility Detection and Surveying Across Ireland
Our Services
Our Surveying & Utility Detection Services
We provide a comprehensive range of surveying and utility locating services in Dublin, County Kildare and the surrounding areas, supporting projects from early planning through to construction and asset management.

Underground Utility Surveys
We locate and map buried services including gas, water, electric and telecoms infrastructure. This reduces the risk of utility strikes and ensures safe excavation.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) Surveys
Non-invasive subsurface scanning to detect utilities, voids and structural features beneath concrete, tarmac and soil. Essential for identifying hidden risks before groundworks.

Topographical Surveys
Detailed mapping of land, elevations and existing features to support design, planning and construction projects.

Building Surveys
Structural scanning and measurement services to assess buildings, identify hidden elements and support refurbishment or redevelopment.

CCTV Drainage Surveys
Inspection of drainage systems across Ireland using camera technology to identify blockages, defects and structural issues.

Aerial Drone Surveys
High-resolution aerial mapping and 3D modelling for large-scale sites, improving efficiency and safety.

Manhole & Chamber Surveys
Accurate recording and inspection of underground access points and utility infrastructure.

Fire Hydrant Testing
Verification and mapping of fire hydrant systems to support compliance and infrastructure management.

GPR Data Post Processing
Advanced analysis and CAD deliverables to transform raw survey data into clear, usable drawings and reports.

Technical Spotlight
Electromagnetic Utility Detection (Cat & Genny)
We use electromagnetic locating equipment, commonly known as Cat and Genny, to accurately trace conductive underground services such as cables and pipes. This technology works by transmitting a signal through a service and detecting its position and depth, helping to identify both known and previously undocumented utilities within a site.
Our surveyors apply a range of proven methods depending on site conditions, including direct connection for maximum accuracy, signal clamping where access is limited, and induction for locating hidden services. This flexible approach ensures reliable results across complex environments and supports safer excavation planning.
