Becoming a utility surveyor can be an interesting and rewarding job. It involves using various tools to locate and identify underground services – the type of service, where it runs, how close it is to other services, how deep it is under the ground surface, and so on – and then providing a report using computer software so that project managers on a construction site are able to avoid striking such utilities when commencing excavation.

Any contractor who is required to undertake any form of excavation work should understand that before putting a spade in the ground it is vital to carry out a thorough survey of the site in order to establish the location and type of any utilities that are there. There are still far too many cable strikes in the UK every year. Of the 4,000,000 excavations undertaken, some 60,000 such strikes occur.

If you are someone who enjoys gardening as, according to research, some 27 million, or 42% of the adult population does, then you can see that you are in good company. Many of us love to produce our own fresh food on a veg plot or allotment, and also enjoy the almost unlimited choice of flowers and plants and trees that we can tend.

Depending upon whose figures you believe, there are anywhere between 1.5 million and 2.5 million kilometres of underground services in the UK. These can be water pipes, gas, electricity cables, sewage pipes, telecoms, fibreoptic, and many other types. Naturally, we do not want our landscape covered in such things, so burying them underground makes complete sense.
