LSBUD

LSBUD is a free to use online search service that any individual (“User”) can use to check their works against over 160 asset owners’ (“Members”) utility assets. These assets include hundreds of thousands of kilometres of underground and overhead pipelines and cables in the electricity, gas, high pressure fuel/oil, heating, water and fibre optic networks. The service processes over 3.9 million enquiries per annum - that’s more than one every 15 seconds.

The service is designed to be used by anyone that needs to know where utility assets (pipelines and cables) are in order to work safely. This includes:
Contractors
Utilities
Local Authorities
Excavators
Fencing installers
Private Individuals
Farmers
Conveyancers
…and many more. 

Enquiries can be for simply checking what is there for future requirements or for immediate use, i.e. for an urgent excavation. Works can be of any scale from a highway scheme to simply replacing a garden fence.
