Subvision Surveys is SSIP and ISO accredited, providing a comprehensive service for searching utility asset records, commonly known as C2 searches, stat packs or safe-dig packs. These packs bring together records held by statutory undertakers and utility providers, giving you access to vital information about what’s likely to be present beneath a site before any physical survey or excavation work begins.

As a PAS128 Type D search, this is typically the first stage in the utility detection process, and often the most cost-effective way to build an initial picture of a site. Our team reviews and interprets the raw records returned by utility companies, many of which can be inconsistent in format, scale or accuracy, and presents the findings in a clear, usable format for your project team. This desk-based approach makes it a practical starting point for early-stage feasibility work, before committing to on-site detection surveys such as PAS128 Type C, B or A.

Subvision Surveys can collate all utility search information and produce a composite drawing, overlaying the data onto either a topographical survey or an OS Tile. This gives clients a clear, comprehensive overview of utility assets at the early feasibility stage of a project, helping architects, engineers and planners identify potential constraints before design work progresses.

Because we carry out both the desktop search and the on-site detection surveys ourselves, our composite drawings are built and interpreted by the same team throughout, rather than being handed between separate providers. This gives Tier 1 contractors, developers and planners a consistent, reliable picture of utility assets from the earliest stage of a project right through to detailed on-site verification.
