FAQ

Utilities search questions

Short answers to what land teams ask us before a demo.

What does a utilities search show?

The electricity, gas, water and sewerage operators for the site, the nearest gas main, published electricity headroom and structures near the boundary. Each result is shown with its distance where one applies.

Does it replace a formal apparatus enquiry?

No. It screens operators, nearby assets and published capacity at the start. An apparatus enquiry confirms the owners at the site, and a budget enquiry to the network operator confirms substation capacity.

Does it show electricity capacity?

Yes, where the network publishes it. Kew Yard shows 2.8 MW of firm headroom. The screen notes that substation capacity and headroom need a network operator budget enquiry.

Which utility operators does it name?

It names the electricity, gas and water operators for the site. They also appear on the key contacts screen, so the team has a route to each.
