Our Compliance Framework

International Standards

PAS-128

PAS 128:2022 — Specification for underground utility detection, verification and location

PAS-128 is the British Standards Institution's specification for subsurface utility engineering. It defines four quality levels (D, C, B, A) and mandates the survey methods, equipment calibration, data processing, and reporting requirements for each. RIIM delivers to PAS-128 Quality Level B as standard, with Quality Level A (physical exposure) available on request.

QL-D
Desktop Study

Compilation of existing utility records and historical data.

QL-C
Site Reconnaissance

Visual inspection and surface feature identification.

QL-B
Geophysical Detection

GPR and EPL surveys to detect and map buried utilities.

RIIM Standard
QL-A
Physical Verification

Trial holes and vacuum excavation to physically verify utility position.
