​QuikSTATS, a subsidiary of Kier Group, has secured a contract with National Highways to provide underground utilities mapping services across England's strategic road network.

The contract, valued at up to £9 million, spans three years with an option for a one-year extension. This agreement designates QuikSTATS as the sole provider for C2 utility stat searches for National Highways.​

C2 searches are essential for identifying the locations of underground utilities and infrastructure to PAS128-D standard, aiming to protect both the workforce and the public by understanding potential risks before excavation begins. Traditionally, this process involves manually contacting various utility providers, which can be time-consuming. Under the new contract, QuikSTATS is committed to delivering the majority of information packs within 30 minutes of request.​

The service offers detailed underground utility mapping, providing comprehensive data crucial for planning, managing, and executing infrastructure works. ​
