Land & Utility Surveying

SOCOTEC, formerly 40Seven's Land & Utility Surveying services provide accurate and innovative solutions for mapping, measuring and analysing land and underground utilities.

Our expert team utilises technology and proven methodologies to deliver precise data and insights, enabling informed decision-making for your projects.

As urban areas expand and infrastructure becomes more intricate, the complexity of underground utility networks increases, making accurate mapping and management challenging. This can lead to conflicts and inefficiencies during construction and maintenance. The growing demand for precise land information puts pressure on surveyors and geospatial professionals to deliver high-quality data essential for efficient and safe project planning, design, and execution. Traditional survey methods can be disruptive, necessitating advanced, non-invasive techniques like ground-penetrating radar and remote sensing to minimise disturbances.

Projects often face strict deadlines and budget constraints, making efficient planning and execution critical to avoid delays and cost overruns. Effective project management and innovative solutions are vital to meet these challenges. Safety in excavation and construction activities is paramount, given the risks posed by complex underground utilities. Ensuring worker and public safety requires meticulous planning, adherence to safety protocols, and the use of advanced technologies to detect and avoid hazards.
