statutory undertakers searches (Utility Plan Retrieval)

Select, as the longest running company in this field, have over 12 years experience in the UK of collating buried service information. To date we estimate that we have collated many thousands of kilometres of utility plan information for every type of utility installation and local authority, government bodies and independents.

With our extensive knowledge of the industry we can quickly identify which companies have services buried within any given location ensuring we always apply to all affected parties. This guarantees as accurate a representation as is possible of what is currently present in the ground prior to any proposed excavations. Subsequently this minimises damages, thus saving both costs and injury as well contributing to our clients’ compliance of Health and Safety legislation. The results of our searches, including all collected asset information, are collated into legible, and often bespoke, ‘Safe Dig’ packs before being passed on to our clients on completion. Loose plans can also be provided and all information is securely retained digitally for future reference and re-submission if required. We also provide a CD or memory stick with the information to our client at their request enabling the client to re-produce the information.

• Gazateer and our own database of utility holders are used to apply for information.
• Complete tracking of enquiry from initial request to delivery.
• Sign off procedure for client and their operatives within presentation.
• Hard and soft copies available.
• Digital archiving for eternity!! – (we have archived information for 10 years plus to cover our clients’ legal responsibilities)
