United Utilities Section 104 Surveys

United Utilities Section 104 surveys are essential when obtaining United Utilities drainage system approval. We provide thorough assessments through Subvision Surveys, highlighting compliance issues early enough before they become costly obstacles.

We monitor vital parameters such as pipe condition, alignment, and flow efficiency to meet regulatory requirements. Our reports provide direct results, which allow developers to make changes with ease.

With efficiency and accuracy in our mind, we help developers with seamless approvals. We are also experts in Yorkshire Water Section 104 Surveys, ensuring region-specific compliance with several water authorities.

Starting the Process Early

United Utilities recommends a pre-development enquiry before finalising a site drainage strategy, covering connection points and discharge rates, and it’s the applicant’s responsibility to demonstrate the exact relationship between United Utilities’ existing assets and the proposed development. This means accurate survey data showing what’s already on or near the site isn’t optional groundwork, it’s something the application itself depends on from the outset.

Before Construction Begins

Ahead of construction starting, developers must complete a pre-start inspection request, provided alongside technical acceptance of the design. Once this is received and processed, United Utilities arranges a pre-start site meeting before work can proceed. Having accurate topographical and drainage survey data ready ahead of this stage helps keep the process moving without delay, and developers should be aware a surety or cash deposit, calculated as a percentage of estimated construction cost, is also required as part of the agreement.
