ble information:

Make yourself familiar with the jobsite features. Obtain technical maps about existing utilities on the jobsite. Supplement the acquired scan data by opening manholes onsite. The basic requirement for carrying out a survey is understanding the features of the jobsite. When gathering information about the jobsite, keep in mind the objectives of the survey. Consider the following points when preparing the survey:

Do you need any specific permissions to carry out the survey on the job-

site, for example, access permission to pedestrian zones or permission to interrupt the traffic flow?

Are there any difficulties in accessing the jobsite? (Available space, any architectural features forming an obstacle, etc.). Is the jobsite in an area with a high level of urban traffic, such as streets, squares or pavements? Are there parked cars that could be in the way during the survey?

Technical maps of existing utilities are normally created by public utility com-

panies. Such maps give a schematic overview about the type and position of utilities that are constructed and managed by the public utility companies. Even if these maps are generic, they can give a first impression of the existing utilities and provide additional information during the data acquisition and interpretation phase. To obtain technical maps of the jobsite, contact the cartographic or planning office of the different utility companies. Clearly specify the streets and areas of interest. Request the maps early enough in advance to the survey, to ensure that the maps are available for the data acquisition phase. The following list contains the most important types of utilities that need to be considered:

Water supply pipes Street lights Low, medium and high-voltage electricity cables Telephone cables Gas pipes Sewage pipes Opening manholes Once the data acquisition is complete, the opening of manholes on site can provide you with further information regarding depth, diameter and direction of the utility. This information serves as reference data during the interpreta-

tion phase and allows you to estimate the propagation velocity in order to cal-
