PAS 128 Survey Types

PAS 128 defines several survey types, each with a different level of accuracy and method used:

PAS 128 Type A: Verification Survey
- Involves physically exposing the utility to verify its position and characteristics.
- Provides the highest level of accuracy.
PAS 128 Type B: Detection Survey
- Uses geophysical techniques such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and electromagnetic location.
- Sub-divided into four sub-types (B1, B2, B3, B4) based on the density and confidence of detected utilities.
PAS 128 Type C: Site Reconnaissance Survey
- Requires gathering existing records and visible surface features to approximate the location of utilities.
- Provides less accuracy compared to Type A and B.
PAS 128 Type D: Desktop Utility Record Search
- Involves collecting and reviewing existing utility records without any on-site activities.
- Provides the least accuracy, based on historical and available data.

PAS 128 Survey Accuracy

The accuracy of the survey results is classified into four quality levels (QL):

QL-A: The highest accuracy, obtained from Type A surveys.
QL-B: Accuracy from Type B surveys, with QL-B1 being the most accurate within this type.
QL-C: Results from Type C surveys.
QL-D: Least accurate, based on Type D surveys.

PAS 128 Survey Applications

Construction and Excavation Planning: Helps in reducing the risk of utility strikes and ensures safe excavation practices.
Asset Management: Aids utility companies in managing and maintaining their underground infrastructure.
Urban Development: Supports planners and developers in understanding the subsurface environment.

PAS 128 Process

Preparation: Define the scope, objectives, and area of the survey.
Data Collection: Conduct the survey using the appropriate methods and technologies.
Data Processing: Analyze and interpret the collected data.
Data Presentation: Present the findings in a clear and standardized format, including maps and reports.

PAS 128 Benefits

Improved Safety: Reduces the risk of accidents caused by striking buried utilities.
Cost Efficiency: Helps in avoiding costly utility damage and project delays.
Better Planning: Provides accurate information for project planning and design.

PAS 128 ensures that underground utility surveys are conducted in a consistent manner, improving the reliability and accuracy of the data collected. This specification is essential for anyone involved in construction, civil engineering, or utility management.

  Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. The job itself was completed to a very high standard and the drawings that were provided afterwards were incredibly detailed and accurate.
We have used similar companies in the past but these guys were so much better than all of them put together.
Would definitely use Subvision again and look forward to doing so.
