Does your development have sufficient local network capacity?
As well as underground utility searches, we also offer a service to assess whether the relevant water, sewer, electric and gas companies (you can select which) have sufficient existing local network capacity for the loads generated by your new or proposed development.
This information can be vital in ensuring the proposed development is viable in the early pre-planning stages. Some utilities also provide a budget estimate as part of their pre-development check: – we will supply these costs wherever possible.
Fees are as follows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a capacity check?
A capacity check is an assessment of the ability of utility networks to cope with the increased demand of a new development. This is important to ensure that the development does not overload the existing infrastructure and cause problems such as water shortages or power outages.
Why is a capacity check important?
Carrying out a capacity check in the early stages of a development project can save time and money in the long run. It can help to identify any potential problems with the existing infrastructure early on, so that they can be addressed before construction begins. This can avoid the need for costly and disruptive remedial work later on.
What does a capacity check involve?
A capacity check typically involves a site survey to assess the existing utility networks, as well as an analysis of the projected demand of the new development. Cornerstone Projects uses a variety of methods to carry out capacity checks, including:
- Examining water mains and sewer lines
- Assessing the capacity of electrical substations
- Reviewing gas network infrastructure
