In Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the Dubai, contemporary building projects demand more than just cursory planning. Every site has a sophisticated network of utilities underneath it, including gas pipelines, sewer systems, telecom lines, electrical cables and water pipelines. Prior to any excavation or construction, an Underground Utilities Survey is necessary to precisely identify and map these hidden assets.
Compass Arabia helps developers, contractors, and consultants avoid expensive damage, delays, and safety hazards by offering expert Underground Utilities Survey services.

An Underground Utilities Survey: What Is It?
A specialised surveying service called an Underground Utilities Survey is used to locate, identify, and map subterranean utilities without the need for excavation. Underground infrastructure can be precisely located and documented with the use of cutting-edge technologies like GPS-based mapping, electromagnetic locators, and ground penetrating radar (GPR).
These surveys support safe and effective project planning throughout Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the Dubai by providing accurate information about the location, depth, and alignment of utilities.
Underground Utilities Survey’s Value in GCC Projects
Infrastructure and urbanisation are developing quickly in the Gulf region. Inadequate mapping of subterranean utilities puts projects at risk for things like:
Unintentional harm to live utilities
Expensive rework and project delays
risks to the public’s and employees’ safety
Concerns about law and compliance
