PAS128 is a Publicly Available Specification that sets out best practice for locating and recording buried services.

It reduces the risk of utility strikes, improves site safety and provides confidence before construction, excavation or design work begins.

PAS128 surveys can locate electric cables, water mains, gas mains, drainage pipes, telecom cables and fibre optic ducts.

GPR is used where site conditions and survey scope allow, helping to improve detection of non-metallic and unknown services.

PAS128 defines survey quality levels from desktop studies to advanced detection and verification, depending on project requirements.

They are not legally mandatory, but are widely considered best practice and are often required by clients, contractors and insurers.

PAS128 surveys are used by Tier 1 contractors, developers, civil engineers, planners, utility providers and private clients.

Accuracy depends on site conditions and survey scope, but using trained surveyors and multiple detection methods ensures a high level of reliability.
