What to Look for in a Clearance Provider

Not every utilities clearance company works to the same standard. Accreditation, such as SSIP and ISO certification, gives you assurance the provider meets recognised industry requirements for quality and safety. Experience matters too, a company that’s worked across a wide range of site types and ground conditions is better placed to interpret results accurately than one relying on equipment alone. Before appointing a clearance provider, it’s worth checking their accreditation, asking about the detection methods they use, and confirming they’ll clear each position individually rather than treating a site as a single blanket assessment.

How We Approach Clearance Work

We combine electromagnetic detection and GPR to check proposed excavation points, trench lines or piling positions, adjusting our method to suit the ground conditions and services likely to be present at each site, supporting effective utility avoidance throughout. Where multiple positions need clearing, such as a piling grid, we clear each one individually, giving you confirmed, position-by-position results rather than a general site assessment.
