Why this investigation mattered
Telecom corridor work often follows long, narrow routes where a single utility conflict can stop trenching or damage critical infrastructure. Existing records may not show every crossing, abandoned service or route deviation.
The investigation therefore needed to concentrate on corridor risk rather than producing a generic site scan. The value came from identifying relevant crossings and subsurface features in the path of planned fibre works and presenting them in a form the construction team could use.
Investigation strategy
Survey coverage followed the project corridor and focused on areas of planned ground disturbance. GPR interpretation was used to identify utility-like linear features and crossings, with locating workflows applied as appropriate to the available site information and target type.
Results were organized around construction relevance: route position, crossing risk, depth where technically supportable and areas requiring additional caution or verification.
