BT Cable Survey

Subvision Surveys provides accurate BT cable surveys, locating BT and Openreach telecoms cabling before construction, excavation or groundworks begin. Damaging BT infrastructure can disrupt telecoms services for homes and businesses in the surrounding area, as well as causing significant repair costs and project delays, making an accurate survey essential before work starts.

Equipment We Use

Our surveyors have in-depth experience working with RD8000 and CAT4 cable locating equipment, alongside IDS Detector Duo GPR, giving us the ability to accurately trace BT cabling using signal detection while also identifying features that electromagnetic detection alone can miss. Combining these methods allows us to detect both metallic and non-metallic utilities efficiently, giving you a complete picture of BT infrastructure on site.

Why Book a BT Cable Survey Before You Dig

It’s essential to book a BT cable survey before construction or excavation begins, reducing the risk of encountering buried BT infrastructure unexpectedly. Striking BT cabling can be costly to repair and disruptive to nearby telecoms services, and in some cases can bring work on site to a halt while the damage is addressed. A Buried BT Cable Survey carried out in advance gives your team clear, confirmed information to plan around, rather than relying on assumptions or incomplete records.
