GeoShape Surveys provides precise underground utility surveys in Bristol. We perform our utility mapping using industry standard radio frequency detection equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR), allowing us to locate the position of underground services and pipes. By utilising the latest cutting-edge technology, we can provide clear and accurate results before any excavation work is done. Trust in GeoShape Surveys and take advantage of our years of experience. Our expert surveyors are on hand to give you peace of mind, whatever your project size. Contact us today for a custom quote.
With years of experience, GeoShape Surveys have extensive knowledge in underground utility mapping, allowing us to achieve the best possible results.
Our findings are presented in CAD format, and can be overlaid onto a topographical drawing. This gives you a clear understanding of any pipes, drainage or utilities, and we can even provide information on pipe sizes, directional flow and materials.
As experts in various different surveys, our utility survey services can be used in combination with topographical surveys, or simply as a standalone service.
We use the leading Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Visual and Electro-magnetic equipment to create AutoCAD drawings of the utilities present on site, giving you a comprehensive understanding of underground utilities and pipes, materials, sizes and directional flow.

When a measured building survey involves a complex structure, something with intricate internal layout, multiple systems running through it, or a requirement for millimetre-level accuracy. The process of producing the finished drawings involves more steps than many clients realise. The end result, a set of clean, detailed 2D CAD plans, represents the output of a workflow that begins long before anyone opens a drawing package.
Setting-out is one of those surveying services that sits quietly at the heart of almost every construction project, yet is often misunderstood by people who have not worked closely with a surveyor before. Unlike a topographical survey, which records what is already there, or a measured building survey, which captures an existing structure in detail, setting-out is about the future: taking what exists on paper and placing it accurately on the ground.
If you have never commissioned a land survey before, the process can feel a little opaque. What information do you need to provide upfront? How long will it take? What do you actually receive at the end of it? These are questions we hear regularly from developers, architects, contractors and homeowners who are approaching a survey for the first time.
Land surveying has come a long way since its early days with simple compasses, theodolites, and tape measures. In recent years, industry breakthroughs like drones and laser scanning land surveying have transformed the landscape of surveying services, offering faster, more efficient, and safer methods of data gathering. Let's dive into these modern techniques and why land survey experts like GeoShape Surveys are pioneering these technologies.
Before we dive into how accurate Ground Penetrating Surveys are, we first will take a look at what they are and how they work to determine their accuracy.
As part of an ongoing district heating project around Bristol, our client required a PAS128 Utility Survey and topographical survey to be conducted on the roads and footpaths within our survey boundary. The survey data will be used by a design team, to establish the route for the new district heating infrastructure.
