This first edition of Measured Surveys of Underground Utilities is published by SCSI and prepared by the SCSI Geomatics Professional Group and a specialist Practice Standards and Specifications Working Group. This publication forms part of a series of specifications and guidelines intended to assist those connected with the requesting, purchasing and production of surveys and mapping material at large scales and high accuracies, by promoting good practice and avoiding the duplication of effort.
The primary intention of this guidance note is to place the relationship and understanding between chartered surveyor and client at the core of any survey project. It is also hoped that it provides a reference document that supports downstream survey data users as well as enhanced collaboration processes such as BIM.
