    BURIED UTILITY PROJECTS
    Investment in utility projects is a major commitment; prior knowledge
    of the sub-surface can reduce risk, delay and costs.

    A robust knowledge of buried service EXAMPLE PROJECTS


    location is a prerequisite for most Bradwell Nuclear Power Station
    infrastructure projects. Fugro has Survey to map buried services over an area
    considerable experience of managing of 12.5 hectares within decommissioned
    integrated utility surveys at a wide variety of nuclear power station. The survey used
    sites. A four-stage approach is usually GPR, electromagnetic tracing, frequency Electromagnetic locators can trace many types of
    taken, comprising of desktop study, visual domain electromagnetic (FDEM) mapping conductive utility.
    and topographic survey, electronic tracing and visual inspection of manholes. For
    and ground penetrating radar survey (GPR). RPS.

    Taking this thorough approach, which is Oil and Gas Facility, Oman

    ground. It is inevitable, however, that site & gas facility in Oman. Detected services
    conditions will prevent the detection of all were cross-referenced to record drawings
    services and due care should always be and inspection of access chambers to

    utilities. For PDO. systems.
