Underground utility surveys play a crucial role in all construction and building projects by locating and charting existing utilities in a particular area, including important information like dimensions, materials, and flow directions. GeoShape Surveys are experienced underground utility surveyors in Newport, providing comprehensive surveying solutions tailored to projects of varying scopes. We leverage cutting-edge technology to carry out our utility surveys, guaranteeing you accurate and transparent results before any excavation takes place.
We utilise state-of-the-art technology, such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Visual and Electro-magnetic equipment to create AutoCAD drawings that depict the precise locations of utilities within the site. This method gives your team a transparent view of the utility and pipe positions, complete with important information regarding materials used, sizes, and directional flow.
GeoShape Surveys employs industry-standard radio frequency detection equipment and ground-penetrating radar (GPR), allowing us to precisely locate underground utilities and pipes.
Our findings are presented in CAD format, which can seamlessly integrate with a topographical drawing. Our utility surveys provide a comprehensive insight into pipes, drainage systems, and utilities. Moreover, we can provide details on pipe sizes, flow directions, and the materials used, ensuring that you receive clear and accurate results before any excavation begins.
In addition to our utility surveys, we also offer topographical and measured building surveys, providing a complete service for your project. Don't hesitate to get in touch with us to discuss your project requirements and obtain a quote today.

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.
