Focused field services designed to resolve access, site and stakeholder constraints before they affect mobilisation or programme delivery.
Landowner, occupier and agent liaison; access negotiations; wayleave and easement support; pre-entry arrangements and reinstatement liaison.
Pre- and post-works surveys providing an accurate and auditable record of land, access routes and affected property.
Pre-works site and access assessments, access route planning, mobilisation support, digital field information and close-out.
Asset condition inspections, verification, defect identification, field data capture, photographic records and client-specific reporting.
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.
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.
FSU provides practical field support to establish how proposed works can be accessed and delivered under actual site conditions.
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.
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.
