Utility Searches for Renewables & Energy

Solar farms, wind turbines, battery storage facilities, and EV charging networks all share one critical requirement before ground is broken — a clear picture of what is already buried beneath the site. Digsure delivers the utility data that keeps energy projects safe and on programme.

Large sites, complex utility environments

Renewable energy projects typically involve large land areas, often in rural or semi-rural locations where utilities may be poorly recorded. Overhead line diversions, buried HV cables, and agricultural drainage all pose risks during construction. An up-to-date utility search pack — covering all relevant statutory records for the site boundary — is the first step to managing those risks safely.

Digsure's area-based pricing means large sites are proportionally costed — you are not paying per asset owner. Our CAD team has direct experience of overhead transmission line and renewables projects, and can produce route-based composite drawings for linear schemes as well as site-wide overlays for solar and battery storage developments.

What Digsure provides

• Statutory utility records for all asset owners within your site boundary
• Area-based pricing — cost-effective for large and elongated site footprints
• Composite overlay plans for solar array areas, wind turbine bases, and cable routes
• CAD drawings in DGN, DXF, and AutoCAD for direct integration into your design models
• HSG47 and PAS 128-D compliant documentation
• 24-hour turnaround for urgent project milestones

EV charging and energy storage

The rollout of EV charging infrastructure — from commercial forecourts to fleet depots and motorway service areas — requires utility searches wherever groundworks are planned. Digsure supplies fast, accurate utility packs so installers and project managers can plan cable routes and civil works with confidence.
