An Underground Utility survey seeks to identify the location of below ground services such as electricity and communications cables, gas and drainage pipes.
Mid Sussex District Council are working with a Registered Practice of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors who will send one or two surveyors to scan the site. They will use a combination of Electromagnet tracing and Ground Penetrating Radar to identify the location and depth of underground services.
The drawings they produce will be used by our landscape architects to make informed decisions when deciding where to position features requiring excavation. This will safeguard contractors and prevent disruption to utility services and delays in the project during construction.

Mid Sussex District Council are working with a Registered Practice of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environmental Management who will send one or two ecologists to look for evidence of use by, or features with the potential to support, badger, bats, nesting birds, great crested newt, hazel dormouse, otter, reptiles, and water vole.
The report they produce will be used by our landscape architects to make sure that any changes we make do not have a negative impact on the site’s wildlife, and ideally will enhance it.
