Borehole Clearance Surveys
Borehole clearance is a critical step in projects involving intrusive digging or borehole drilling, ensuring a safe and obstacle-free designated dig area. Skilled surveyors conduct thorough surveys to identify and mitigate potential risks associated with underground obstructions or services, enhancing safety during drilling and excavation activities.
In summary, borehole clearance is fundamental for the success of any drilling project, emphasising safety, regulatory compliance, and effective planning. Our expert surveyors play a pivotal role in risk mitigation, providing a clear and safe path for the successful execution of borehole drilling. Their specialised knowledge ensures a comprehensive survey, contributing significantly to the overall success and safety of the drilling operation. Choosing borehole clearance is a proactive measure, fostering a secure working environment and minimising potential challenges during the drilling process.
