PAS128 Surveys in the Birmingham Area By Seddon Surveys
Your Trusted Partner for Safe and Compliant Construction
The Significance of PAS128 Surveys
When planning a development it is crucial to understand the infrastructure below ground. Often indications of subsurface infrastructure can be misleading and can lead to problems when the real infrastructure is revealed through construction.
Seddon Surveys provide reliable and accurate PAS128 Surveys that reduce the risk relating to buried infrastructure.
What is a PAS128 Survey?
A Publicly Available Specification or PAS is a standardisation document that closely resembles a formal standard in structure and format. The objective of a Publicly Available Specification is to speed up standardization.
A PAS128 compliant survey is often referred to as a benchmark for underground utility location and mapping. PAS128 is sponsored by the Institution of Civil Engineers. Its development was facilitated by BSI standards.
PAS 128 provides categorised methodologies and explanations of the situation in which they should be used. It also provides categorisation of the results of a utility survey in the form of Quality Levels.
