Delve into the details
Taunton is undergoing significant growth as Somerset's county town, with major residential and commercial developments bringing regular groundworks activity and the associated need for safe utility location. The town's older districts contain Victorian water mains and gas infrastructure that can be difficult to trace accurately, and where service strikes carry serious consequences. The Somerset Levels surrounding Taunton present a different set of challenges — high water tables, peat soils, and drainage networks that require careful non-destructive excavation to avoid destabilising the surrounding land. Taunton's role as a transport hub, with major rail and road infrastructure running through the town, also generates utility upgrade and maintenance work that regularly requires vacuum excavation.
