The utilities sector underpins modern life, from water and gas to electricity, telecoms, and rail. With ageing infrastructure, strict regulations, and increasing pressures on safety and efficiency, providers face unique challenges when procuring surveys.
At Powers, we deliver PAS 128-compliant data that is accurate, complete, and integration-ready – whether for GIS, NUAR, or BIM. Our focus on safety, compliance and asset protection ensures every buried service is accounted for, every format is delivered right first time and every project moves forward with confidence.
Surveys Designed for Critical Infrastructure
Utilities demand more than compliance. Powers delivers surveys tailored to your systems and workflows, ensuring every output is right first time.
Safety First
Avoiding utility strikes is critical. Powers’ surveys are delivered by accredited teams using advanced detection methods to keep people, assets, and the public safe.
Accuracy You Can Trust
From buried assets to surface features, our surveys give you complete visibility across even the most complex or linear sites – removing guesswork and reducing risk.
Integration-Ready Data
Deliverables are formatted right first time for GIS, NUAR, BIM, and asset systems, so your data flows seamlessly into your operations without costly rework.
Fast, Reliable Delivery
We mobilise quickly, manage permits and access approvals, and deliver surveys on schedule – keeping downtime and disruption to a minimum.
Certainty at Every Stage of Utilities Projects
From detecting buried assets to handing over as-built data, Powers supports utilities projects with PAS 128-compliant surveys and integration-ready outputs at every step.
Detect
Every successful utilities project starts with knowing exactly what’s below ground. Our PAS 128-compliant surveys locate buried assets with precision, reducing strike risk and keeping your people and infrastructure safe.
Map
Underground data alone isn’t enough. Powers combines detailed topographical surveys with UAV drone mapping, giving you complete visibility above and below ground – essential for safe planning and delivery.
Model
Your data should work the way you do. From laser scanning to BIM-ready Revit models, we deliver outputs that integrate seamlessly into GIS, NUAR, and asset management systems – accurate, consistent, and right first time.
Build
Keep projects on spec and on schedule with precise setting out and as-built surveys. Powers gives utilities the reliable data needed for construction accuracy, programme certainty, and smooth handover.
Verify
Long-term confidence comes from proof. Our deformation and movement monitoring services track asset performance over time, protecting critical infrastructure and providing defensible records for compliance.
Not sure which service you need?
Many clients come to us uncertain about the right scope. Powers act as your consultant – interpreting your project needs and prescribing the right survey from the start.
Proven on Utility & Energy Projects
Every network relies on accurate data. Here’s how Powers’ surveys have kept utility and energy projects safe, compliant, and moving – across renewables, infrastructure upgrades, and complex live sites.
Are all your utility surveys PAS 128 compliant?
Yes. Every utility survey we deliver follows PAS 128 specifications, with full QA and audit trails. Compliance isn’t optional – it’s built into our process.
Can you gain the permits and approvals needed for high-risk sites?
Our teams are trained and accredited for utilities work, including working in confined spaces and on highways. We handle traffic management, access permits, and safety protocols as part of our mobilisation.
What formats will my data be delivered in?
We tailor outputs to your requirements – from CAD and BIM files to GIS- and NUAR-ready datasets. Our goal is to make sure your data integrates seamlessly into your existing systems.
How quickly can you mobilise for a utilities project?
We understand utilities projects are time-sensitive. Depending on scope and access requirements, our survey teams can often be on-site within days, with clear timelines for delivery.
Do you also capture above-ground features as part of utilities surveys?
Yes. Utilities projects require complete context. We capture surface features such as manholes, chambers, poles, and cabinets, alongside underground networks, so you get a full site picture.
How do you keep sensitive asset data secure?
We apply strict data security protocols and clear ownership policies. Your information is stored, handled, and shared securely in line with industry and regulatory standards.
I’m not sure which services I need - can you advise?
Absolutely. Many clients come to us unsure of the exact specification required. Our consultancy-first approach means we interpret your project needs and prescribe the right survey scope – saving you time and reducing risk.
