A New Startup for Underground Inspections Has Been Launched

A new startup, SurveyX, has been launched in the United Kingdom. Its goal is to provide the construction sector with inspection services for underground tunnels, pipelines, and drainage systems. But what does this startup offer, and how will it influence the construction industry in the future?

What does this startup offer?

The company will provide topographic surveys, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), utility surveys, and CCTV inspections. They are designed to help locate, map, inspect underground tunnels for defects, and assess impact of these defects.

SurveyX will also offer mapping and surveying of drainage networks and underground utilities for repair or future use, as well as 3D scanning techniques to capture accurate spatial dimensions of buildings. In addition, the company will provide specialist building surveys to obtain highly accurate spatial data, measurements, and structural details of existing buildings.

The company plans to leverage its expertise to rapidly expand its business presence and establish operations across the UK over the next two years. It has already secured contracts in Kent, while additional projects throughout the country are currently under development.

How will it influence the construction industry in the future?

This startup is expected to significantly simplify operations for construction companies. Its technology will enable faster and more accurate inspections of underground utilities and, in the future, potentially other types of infrastructure as well.

Joe Walshaw, who has more than 30 years of experience in the surveying and geomatics sector, said: “With the latest AI-driven and internet-based technologies, we see a tremendous opportunity to transform land surveying and geospatial services, making them simpler, faster, and more accurate than ever before.”

Fencyx, as one of the leading wholesale suppliers in the UK building industry, supports this initiative. We are confident that technologies like these will make construction processes faster, safer, and more cost-effective.
