Project North Geomatics can carry out utilities surveys (sometimes referred to as GPR surveys) to aid your project in the accurate detection of buried assets for a range of uses. Utility companies provide service drawings for their infrastructure, however these are not always accurate and up to date so a utility survey helps capture up to date ground information.
