01 — Land Access & Stakeholder Liaison

Securing Access. Maintaining Relationships.

FSU liaises with landowners, occupiers and agents to establish access arrangements and maintain clear communication throughout the works.

Our involvement can include access negotiations, wayleave and easement support, pre-entry liaison and notifications, agreed access restrictions, construction-phase communication and reinstatement liaison.

We recognise that those affected by utility works need clear information about when access is required, the nature of the proposed activities and how their land will be used.

Securing access. Maintaining relationships. Supporting delivery.
02 — Records of Condition

Establishing an Accurate Pre-Works Baseline

FSU undertakes Records of Condition (ROC) prior to utility works commencing across private land, access routes and third-party property.

Records can encompass access roads and tracks, agricultural land, entrances, boundaries, gates and fencing, drainage features, structures, working areas and existing defects, supported by date and location-referenced photographic evidence.

Following completion, post-works inspections can provide comparison against the original record and assist with reinstatement, damage assessment and close-out.

Clear. Accurate. Auditable.
03 — Utility Project & Field Support

Bridging the Gap Between Planning and Delivery

FSU provides practical field support to establish how proposed works can be accessed and delivered under actual site conditions.

Pre-Works Site & Access Assessments

Assessments consider the vehicles, plant, equipment and personnel required for each activity, together with the suitability of proposed access routes and working areas.

Consideration can include access points and routes, gateway and track limitations, ground conditions, agricultural activities, livestock, drainage, environmental constraints and seasonal or weather-related restrictions.

Where existing arrangements are unsuitable, alternative or revised access options can be identified for consideration with the project team and affected landowners, occupiers or agents.

Digital Access Information

Agreed access points and routes are provided electronically to the project team for use on mobile devices in the field, supported where appropriate by photographic information and relevant site-specific details.

This gives delivery teams clear access information on site and helps ensure agreed routes, tramlines, restrictions and other access conditions are understood and followed.

Specialist Delivery Network

Specialist Survey & Inspection Services

In addition to FSU's core land access, field and asset inspection services, we can coordinate specialist survey and inspection activities through our established delivery network. This gives clients a single point of contact for access planning, site coordination, specialist field delivery and reporting.

UAV / Drone Surveys

Aerial asset inspection, high-resolution imagery, difficult-access inspection, route and corridor surveys and photographic condition records.

Resistograph Pole Testing

Specialist wood-pole testing using Resistograph drilling techniques where required, supporting condition assessment and decay identification.

Other Pole Inspection Methods

Visual, sounding, hammer testing, ground-line and other recognised inspection techniques in accordance with client specification and competency requirements.

Overhead Line Asset Inspections

Inspection and recording of poles, towers, fittings, stays, conductors and associated infrastructure, with photographic defect evidence where required.

Thermal Imaging

Specialist thermal surveys through appropriately qualified providers where infrared inspection supports defect identification or condition monitoring.

Vegetation & Clearance Surveys

Route-based surveys identifying vegetation encroachment, access constraints and potential clearance requirements around overhead-line infrastructure.

Route & Corridor Surveys

Reconnaissance of overhead-line corridors, access routes, gates, bridges, culverts, watercourses, ground conditions and other physical constraints.

Photogrammetry & Mapping

Where appropriate, UAV or field-collected data can support mapping, spatial records and visualisation of assets and surrounding site conditions.

Pre- & Post-Works Surveys

Pre-construction, mobilisation, post-works and reinstatement surveys providing consistent records from site entry through to project close-out.

Where specialist competencies, equipment, certification or regulatory approvals are required, activities are undertaken by appropriately qualified and competent delivery partners.

One coordinated field solution: FSU can combine landowner liaison, agreed access routes, Records of Condition and project support with specialist survey or inspection resources, helping reduce interfaces and keep the field requirement aligned with the wider programme.
