WHAT ARE SITE MARK OUTS?
Site mark outs are the process of physically marking the location of underground utilities on the ground surface before excavation or construction begins. Using data from underground utility surveys, such as Electromagnetic Location (EML) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), surveyors identify and trace buried services including electricity, gas, water, telecommunications, and drainage. These utilities are then marked on-site with paint or flags, each color representing a different type of service.
Site mark outs provide a clear, visual guide to what lies beneath the surface, helping contractors and engineers work safely and efficiently. By revealing the exact position of underground assets, they prevent accidental damage, reduce costly delays, and ensure compliance with safety regulations during ground disturbance activities.
HOW CAN SITE MARK OUTS
HELP OUR CLIENTS?
REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
Many regions require site mark outs to meet safety and construction regulations. By providing accurate, documented utility markings, Spatial Dimensions helps clients comply with legal standards, avoiding fines, penalties, and potential project shutdowns.
ACCURATE PLANNING
By identifying buried services before digging begins, mark outs prevent unexpected utility damage that can halt work. Early detection helps keep projects on schedule by avoiding repairs, redesigns and time delays from accidental strikes.
REDUCED PROJECT DELAYS
With precise markings on-site, contractors and engineers can plan excavation and construction more effectively. This ensures that all teams understand underground conditions, minimising errors and improving coordination.
COST EFFICIENCY
Preventing utility damage reduces expensive repair costs, project downtime, and potential legal liabilities. Accurate site mark outs help clients avoid unnecessary expense
ENHANCED SAFETY
The markings clearly indicate the location of underground utilities, helping to prevent accidental strikes during excavation. This protects workers, the public, and infrastructure, significantly reducing the risk of injuries and costly safety incidents.
