With buried infrastructure becoming increasingly complex, the risks of service strikes, delays, and cost overruns have never been higher. This technical session will demystify PAS 128:2022, the British Standard for underground utility detection, and explore how its proper implementation is transforming construction projects.
The session will also cover the essential PUMA accreditation—the industry’s independent quality mark for PAS 128-compliant utility mapping—and outline why this standard is critical for mitigating risk early in the design phase.
Learning outcomes & highlights:
Understanding PAS 128:2022: A guide to the standard for utility detection and mapping.
- Risk Mitigation: How to reduce delays, costs, and safety risks from service strikes.
- PUMA Accreditation: What the independent quality mark means for specifying surveyors.
- Project Applications: The impact of PAS 128 compliance on modern construction projects.
