Overview
Concrete scanning is important for several reasons. Firstly, it helps ensure the structural integrity of the concrete by identifying the precise location of reinforcement elements. This information is crucial during construction or renovation projects, as it allows workers to avoid damaging these vital components. Additionally, concrete scanning helps prevent accidents and injuries by revealing the presence of potential hazards, such as live electrical cables or gas pipes.

An essential part of any design or construction project is understanding the location and depth of services within, and adjoining, a site. Mara Surveys can provide consultation on PAS128 requirements for your project.
Learn More
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a required geotechnical technique used in PAS128 Utility Surveys, but it’s not just limited to that. We also utilise different systems to identify buried foundations, voids, sinkholes, cellars, underground storage tanks and rebar (internal and external).
Learn More
Mara Surveys can post process GPR data collected by third parties using a variety of data processing softwares.
Learn More
A requirement of a PAS128 Utility Survey is to provide a report of the infrastructure owned by Statutory Providers that are within the vicinity of a project. We can provide a report collating these ‘stats’ for any size of project within the UK.

An essential tool for anyone involved in infrastructure projects that require accurate and reliable information on the location and condition of underground utilities.

What is a PAS128 Survey?
A document that standardises the equipment, techniques and deliverables of a utility survey. This increases the clients’ confidence in the quality and accuracy when supplied drawings and reports.
Can you find everything underground?
Not always. Although the equipment we use is the latest technology and we have years of experience using these systems - both GPR and EML still have their limitations. We can usually locate services, voids and other anomalies up to 2 metres deep. However, reductive conditions for GPR, such as saturated ground, heavy clay and street cobbles can affect or even negate results. For EML (electromagnetic locators), cut cables, abandoned metallic pipe work, ‘balanced’ or oil filled HV cables and fibre optics can all be difficult to locate and position.
