ALC - Technics

We are delighted to introduce the newest members of our Ground Investigation team, Joseph Raven and Kobee Fawkes. We asked them for their feedback following their first 3 months at Technics. 

At Technics, we have been at the forefront of delivering precise and reliable underground utility surveys across the UK for over 25 years. Our commitment and expertise in underground utility mapping ensure clients across various sectors receive accurate, detailed, and reliable results tailored to their project needs. 

In alignment with our long-term strategy to develop people in their careers at Technics, we are delighted to introduce the newest members of our Utility Mapping team, Vamsi Nidamarthi and Harsha Aknapuram. We recently had the opportunity to sit down with them to discuss their reasons for joining Technics and pursuing a career in utility mapping.

As we transition to sustainable energy solutions, district heating schemes are emerging as a promising option for efficient heating in urban areas. In the United Kingdom, where reducing carbon emissions and enhancing energy efficiency are key priorities, district heating projects are gaining momentum.

Not all development projects are created equal, not all sites share the same requirements, and not all utility companies serve the same locations. This is why, at Technics, we offer two tiers of Desktop Utility Reports, designed to fit all types of sites. 

If you’re planning a development, extension, or infrastructure project, then commissioning the right topographic survey at the right time can save months of redesign, unexpected costs, and planning delays. Yet topographic surveys are still one of the most misunderstood parts of the site investigation process, and in some instances often treated as a tick-box requirement rather than a critical design input.

Sai Krishna began his career with Technics as a Trainee Surveyor in January 2023. He has since made great progress through the Technics training programme and was recently promoted to the position of Junior Utility Surveyor at our Guildford office. We had the opportunity to speak to Sai about his journey with Technics and his future goals.  

Utility strikes – The UK experiences over 60,000 each year, with consequences ranging from explosions to floods, to life-threatening injuries for onsite personnel. The financial implications of utility strikes are estimated to amount to over £2.4 billion each year. 

Technics has a reputable training programme which aligns with our culture of continuous improvement. We recently sat down with Connor Charles following his first 3 months of working with Technics. Connor joined Technics at the end of September 2023. His current role is as an assistant Vacuum Excavation and Utility Surveyor in the Wakefield office.  

With the Government’s 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel car sales edging ever closer, it’s no surprise that there has been an increase in sales of electric vehicles. But as demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, so does the need for more electric vehicle charging points across the country.
