Ensuring Safety in Borehole Clearance Surveys
Borehole clearance surveys conducted by Subscan are pivotal for the success and safety of drilling and excavation projects. These surveys, undertaken by expert surveyors, are designed to eliminate potential risks associated with underground obstacles. Here’s why borehole clearance is indispensable:
- Tailored Approaches: Subscan offers specialised borehole clearance surveys for various project types, ensuring a tailored approach to each scenario. Whether it’s commercial, water well, domestic, piling, agricultural, ground structure, or environmental projects, the survey is customized to specific needs.
- Safety Compliance: Commercial borehole clearance ensures compliance with safety regulations for commercial projects. Water well borehole clearance prioritizes the safety of water sources. Domestic borehole clearances focus on safe drilling for residential water needs. Piling clearances prevent conflicts with underground services during piling projects.
- Agricultural and Environmental Considerations: For agricultural projects, borehole clearance addresses unique requirements, ensuring safe drilling practices. Environmental window sampling facilitates detailed investigations without invasive methods, catering to environmentally sensitive projects.
- Detecting Service Presence or Absence: Borehole clearance surveys play a crucial role in preparing for drilling by determining the presence or absence of underground services. This early detection ensures thorough project preparation, reducing the risk of disruptions.
- Locating Below Ground Services: Identification and location of underground services or utilities within specified clearance locations are key aspects of the borehole clearance process. This information is vital for effective planning and avoiding potential conflicts.
- Reducing Cable Strike Risks: Conducting borehole clearance surveys significantly reduces the risk of cable strikes during digging, promoting a safer working environment. This risk reduction is achieved by identifying potential hazards before excavation begins.
