Dan and the utilities team at Atkins are fast, thoughtful and their range of mapping detail has proved useful - just today I discovered a 132kV high voltage line through an outline design area which will now be a risk we can manage from very early on in the design process.

Melissa
Engineer | Sustrans

My favourite feature would have to be the online portal. This is set up to enable users to input details very easy and efficiently. The portal itself has never had any technical problems and each time I have used it, it's been brilliant. I would recommend Atkins to carry out your services due to the level of communication and professionalism from all company members.

Mark
Contract Manager | Grain Connect

Excellent. Plans arrive on time and are consistent with the search areas we request. Dan is extremely helpful and returns quotes promptly. One enquiry covers all of our utility search needs.

Kirk
Services Engineer | Persimmon Homes Lancashire

The detail in the final product (DWG CAD files) has been exactly what we as a team have been looking for. This has provided us with security of knowing what's onsite before we break ground.

Stuart
Engineer | SSE Energy Solutions

Extremely positive. It is great to have a dedicated account manager, he is usually always available and if not, he will return my call extremely quickly. If I have a question he will either know the answer or he will find the answer quickly.
