Welcome to Geoscope TV! In this video, we explore the concept of utility investigation potholing or utility potholing, a crucial technique used to investigate underground utilities while ensuring safety and accuracy. Join us as we dive into the details of this method and its significance in construction projects.


A utility investigation pothole refers to a small excavation made in the ground with the purpose of exposing and examining underground utilities, such as pipes, cables, or other buried infrastructure. Through the use of Non-Destructive Digging (NDD), potholing involves digging a relatively small hole, typically less than 200 mm in diameter, to uncover these utilities.


In this video, we discuss the various applications of the potholing method. It is commonly employed when there is a need to confirm the precise location and depth of underground utilities or to identify any potential problems or defects. Potholing is particularly useful when the location has been previously marked and located using electromagnetic (EM) and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) methods or when a Quality Level B subsurface utility information survey has been completed, and verification becomes necessary.


Join us as we shed light on the importance of potholing in ensuring safety, accuracy, and efficiency in construction projects. Whether you're a construction professional or simply curious about the techniques used to unveil buried infrastructure, this video is for you!
