Located provides structured planning and desktop investigation services to establish a clear understanding of existing underground infrastructure before fieldwork begins. By combining BYDA information, utility authority records, historical plans, previous survey information and client requirements, we develop an informed picture of known services, potential conflicts and areas of uncertainty.

​

Our approach brings together utility knowledge, spatial information and project-specific risk assessment to determine the most effective investigation methodology. Site reconnaissance can be undertaken to validate desktop findings, identify visible utility features, assess access and site constraints, and refine the scope of field activities.

​

This early investigation provides the foundation for a targeted and efficient utility investigation strategy. By identifying information gaps and focusing resources where further verification is required, Located helps reduce uncertainty, manage project risk and support better-informed decisions throughout the project lifecycle.
