Did you know, there there's estimated to be around 4 million kilometres of buried pipes and cables in the UK

That's the equivalent in length of approximately...

  • 2 million Southend Pier’s
  • 13 million Shard’s
  • 38 million Wembley Stadium football pitches

By adhering to safe digging practices, and using our DBYD service, you not only safeguard yourself but also the safety of those in the vicinity of your site. Damage to underground utilities can lead to catastrophic outcomes, underscoring the critical importance of taking this precautionary measure.

Typically, obtaining information about buried utilities entails contacting the respective utility companies, a process that can be exceedingly time-consuming, especially when dealing with multiple asset owners.

Our streamlined DBYD processes ensure your next Utility Search saves time and hassle; requesting a quote has never been easier (our online platform provides tailored quotes in less than 60 seconds – click here), and the turnaround of results has never been quicker (our Quick Turnaround service has a rapid response time!).

How does the Groundwise Dial Before You Dig service work?

Before you dig, call Groundwise on 01702 615566, and we’ll advise you on the Utility Search solutions we can offer.

A typical Utility Search involves making C2 enquiries with numerous utilities mapping departments and/or accessing their datasets online. The results are chased, collated, and checked for accuracy. All information is converted to a PDF format Utility Report – a single document containing multiple pages of utility plans and responses – and delivered by email, via an FTP download link.
