Pre site detection to establish exiting utilities

These days there are more and more utilities in the ground and many of them are not at the correct depth.

J. Wilson Contractors Ltd (JWC), based in Wrexham, is a well-established family run business offering their clients groundwork, tailored civil engineering and utility services. The company is well established within the construction industry and works for some of the UK's biggest developers, providing the service of trial hole excavations/investigations and reports, coordination and management of diversions, trench excavations and duct installations for new infrastructure.

JWC is a firm believer that health and safety is paramount out on the field and therefore has demonstrated a professional approach by seeking the best available equipment on the market to minimise any risks associated with excavation work around utilities. For utility repair and maintenance, civil engineering and surveying companies, the Leica Geosystems DSX utility detection solution, consisting of portable hardware with intuitive software, allows engineers to easily locate, visualise and map existing utilities. Unlike any other ground penetrating radar (GPR) system, the Leica DSX maximises productivity with cutting-edge software that automates data analysis and creates a 3D utility map in the field.

“Although previous Radiodetection has worked well for basic tracing to date, the business wanted to improve the accuracy of tracing/scanning methods. The introduction of the DSX has helped us to achieve this. We can now identify untraceable materials in the ground such as PE pipes which will also provide clients with an idea of actual depths as well as locations詹姆斯·威尔逊（James Wilson） - J. Wilson承包商董事总经理

There are now more utilities in the ground than ever, and a lot of them do not have sufficient cover and are backfilled in the wrong materials, which can make locating them and excavating more difficult. By investing in the latest technology, JWC are able to locate utilities with pinpoint accuracy to excavate safely. Many developers are now purchasing pockets of land but do not have much knowledge regarding what is passing through the prosed site underground. The DSX is a valuable addition to JWC and provides them and their clients with detailed information regarding what passes through their sites.

“作为一家以我们所做的工作而自豪的企业，JWC希望采取额外的步骤并找到使用标准跟踪设备找到的服务。现在，我们有一个解决方案，可以为客户提供有关地下公用事业位置的详细信息。”

The accurate detection of underground utilities, the ability to visualise the 3D map out in the field in high resolution and the smooth process of transferring the data on to a topographical and CAD design was a key feature in the selection of the Leica Geosystems DSX solution. With the expansion of their service offerings, with implementation support from the team at M&P, JWC are able to provide their clients with the quickest and most accurate surveys possible, which enables them to easily locate, visualise and map out existing utilities underground.

“The team from M&P have assisted when asked upon and provided J. Wilson Contractors Ltd with an excellent service regarding introducing the new equipment including training and guidance.”

JWC团队的最初反应非常积极。他们的信念是，DSX解决方案正是为客户提供完整的公用事业检测服务所需的目前所需的。JWC不仅可以扫描和挖掘试验孔，而且还可以调查站点并向客户确认是否存在公用事业和近似深度。DSX仅需几个步骤提供完整的实用程序检测和映射。DSX使JWC能够为他们的客户提供“一站式商店”，以满足其所有测量和试验孔需求，因为他们知道他们将在完成工作后获得完整的详细报告/设计。

“现在，该解决方案已增加了J. Wilson Contractors Ltd可以为客户提供的服务，并引起了兴趣并增加了价值订单。我们的目标是对新客户和现有客户进行GPR调查，并在可预见的将来使用DSX。”
