PQS Survey provides UK utility contractors with the specialist technology required to manage dense underground networks.
From advanced cable avoidance and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) to 3D laser scanning, we offer the precision tools needed for safe excavation and asset mapping. Our equipment ensures your team maintains compliance, avoids service strikes, and delivers accurate digital records.
The UK utility sector faces the constant challenge of maintaining and expanding aging networks within increasingly crowded subterranean environments. For contractors, the priority is to work safely while minimising disruption to essential services. PQS Survey acts as a strategic partner, providing the high-specification equipment necessary to “see” beneath the surface and document utility assets with absolute precision.
Our range of detection technology is industry-leading. While traditional cable avoidance tools are essential for daily site safety, our Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems allow for the detection of non-conductive materials like plastic water pipes and fibre optics. For complex above-ground utility infrastructure, such as substations or pumping stations, our 3D laser scanning solutions provide millimetre-accurate digital twins, facilitating better design and maintenance planning.
Beyond detection and survey, we specialise in the safety equipment required for utility maintenance. When working in manholes or service chambers, our confined space kits – featuring multi-gas monitors and certified Davit systems for rescue – ensure operatives are protected against atmospheric and physical hazards. To aid in the mapping of difficult runs, we also supply cobra reels for pushing sondes through ductwork, ensuring every asset is traceable. By combining advanced GPR and scanning technology with robust safety hardware, PQS Survey empowers utility contractors to deliver critical infrastructure projects with reduced risk and enhanced data accuracy.
