Utility Survey

UtilityINFO adopted the use of advance Electromagnetic Induction Pipe and Cable Locators to locate all kinds of underground utilities, including power and telephone cables, and gas, water, drainage and foul pipes, etc. The depth and position of underground utilities are unveiled according to the standards and requirements specified in Government contracts and specifications of Hong Kong Institute of Utility Surveyors (HKIUS). Sonde and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Leak Noise Correlator (LNC) and Slope Inspection will also be employed to identify the location and depth of underground non-metallic pipes and other anomalies within the scope of these instruments. Corresponding drawings and reports are automatically, effectively and efficiently generated through our Integrated Database Management System (IDMS), which greatly reduces the duration for underground utilities investigation.
