Winter utility surveys can be a smart planning move when sites are accessible and diversion lead times are critical. This guide explains when PAS 128 surveys work well in winter, when weather creates real limitations, and how contractors can plan ahead for early-2026 projects.

PAS 128 survey types can be confusing if you’re not working with them day-to-day. This guide breaks down M1, M2, B, C and D in simple terms so project managers, engineers and contractors can choose the right survey level and manage underground utility risk confidently.

GPR surveys can’t see everything — they detect disturbances and metallic objects beneath the surface. Learn why a layered approach gives safer, more accurate results on UK construction sites.

Not everything beneath the surface is meant to be found. Some underground utilities are classified — hidden for national security reasons. Learn how utility surveyors identify the invisible networks that keep the UK running safely without ever appearing on a plan.

Think control points are just nails in the ground? Think again. Discover why control networks are the foundation of accurate setting out, risk reduction, and build success.

Before you break ground, are you sure what lies beneath? From PAS 128 standards to survey turnaround times, here’s what every PM should ask before hiring a utility surveyor.

From access issues to last-minute CAD updates, here are five real-world challenges site engineers face during setting out — and how to avoid them on your next project.

Design and build only work when you know what’s above and below ground. Discover how topo + utility surveys lead to smarter, safer project starts.

Before you break ground, what’s under the surface? Learn how utilities surveys help prevent delays, reduce risk, and improve planning on highways and building projects.
