Accurate Blueprints for Reading Property Assets
Accurate Blueprints for Complex
Drainage Networks.
Managing a property or development in Reading without a clear site plan is a high-risk gamble. Our Drainage mapping survey is designed to remove the “invisible” obstacles that stall Reading planning applications. Using advanced electromagnetic induction and sonar tracing technology, we produce a comprehensive layout of the entire drainage network. From heritage town-center sites to modern Reading business parks, we identify manhole depths, flow directions, and pipe diameters with surgical precision, ensuring your project stays on track and on budget.
Reading’s Most Comprehensive Drainage Mapping Suite
We provide the high-precision data that Reading architects, developers, and engineers rely on. Our services ensure full compliance with local Reading building regulations and water authority requirements.
Sonde & Trace Locating
We use radio-frequency "Sondes" to trace the exact path of Reading sewers above ground, even through deep concrete or soil.
Connectivity Verification
We map the "As-Built" flow of your Reading site, ensuring every gully and stack connection is correctly identified and documented.
Manhole Schedules
Detailed technical data for every access point in your Reading network, including cover levels, invert depths, and pipe materials.
Build-Over Agreements
Providing the specific CCTV mapping required by Thames Water for Reading properties building within 3 meters of a public sewer.
GPS Asset Tagging
We provide precise coordinates for Reading’s major drainage junctions, essential for large-scale commercial site management and future-proofing.
The "No-Dig" Intelligence: How We Map
Precision Data Without the Excavation.
Old-school mapping involved “exploratory” digging and guesswork. Our modern Drainage mapping survey uses non-invasive technology to see through the ground.
- GPS Tagging: We can provide coordinates for every major junction and manhole on your site.
- Depth Accuracy: Critical for avoiding "utility strikes" during excavation or piling works.
- Integration Ready: Our data is presented in a clear format that your architects can easily overlay onto their existing site plans.
Non-Invasive Site Mapping
Our workflow is designed to minimize site disruption while maximizing data accuracy for our Reading clients.
Technical Site Audit
We review your Reading site drawings and identify the specific areas requiring sonar tracing and depth verification.
Sonde & Trace Execution
Our Reading engineers use non-invasive electromagnetic equipment to “paint” the underground infrastructure above ground.
Digital Data Delivery
We compile your Drainage Mapping Survey into a professional pack, including site maps, schedules, and HD footage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you map drains under existing buildings?
Why do I need a mapping survey instead of just a CCTV check?
A CCTV check looks for conditions (cracks/blocks). A Drainage mapping survey looks for location and direction. You need this for legal site plans and construction.
Do you provide AutoCAD files?
What is a Drainage mapping survey?
It is a technical process using sonar and cameras to find the exact location, depth, and direction of underground pipes across a Reading property.
Do I need this for my Reading house extension?
Yes. If you are building over or near a sewer in Reading, your build-over agreement will require a professional mapping survey.
Can you trace pipes under existing Reading buildings?
Absolutely. Our Sonde technology can transmit through foundations, allowing us to map internal Reading drainage lines without any excavation.
Is this survey different from a standard CCTV check in Reading?
Yes. A CCTV check looks for conditions; a Drainage mapping survey provides location and depth for site plans.
