Uncovering utilities in undeveloped areas

In rural areas where hidden utility services are typically less dense, Zetica can help you carry out your due diligence at reduced cost through intelligent survey design.

The more open ground allows for the deployment of our vehicle-mounted systems, which significantly reduce time required on site while delivering the clearest possible mapping of underground services.

At Zetica, we have a market-leading reputation for providing a realistic assessment of what is possible on any given site, and applying the apposite mix of standard and alternative techniques to achieve it.

For example, where moist, clay-rich soils limit the effectiveness of GPR signal penetration depths in rural areas, we may instead identify EM profiling as the more appropriate method. Or, we may recommend GPR surveys be carried out after a prolonged dry period, in order to counteract the soil’s effect.

Through this flexibility and expert knowledge, we’re able to provide a clear picture of the rural subsurface in even the most challenging conditions.
