Pelicancorp Acquisition Expands Damage Prevention Offering to UK

Select Surveys Ltd Joins LSBUD Group To Advance UK's Safest Digging Service

IRVINE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / May 21, 2024 / PelicanCorp, via its UK business (LSBUD), has announced that Select Surveys Ltd is now part of the LSBUD Group. This move is designed to expand LSBUD's service offering to its 275,000 users while strengthening the asset protection it provides to its 150 members.

By combining Select Survey's long-standing surveying expertise with LSBUD's online search service, the new acquisition will unite both businesses in an effort to reduce and avoid utility strikes and its associated damages across the United Kingdom.

"After more than two decades of dedicated efforts in building and nurturing Select Surveys into a leading entity within the geospatial industry, we are pleased to announce an exciting new chapter in our journey," said Deme Cordell, Director of Select Surveys. "LSBUD is a company that shares our unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of operatives, and protecting buried infrastructure across the UK."

Select Surveys is focused on utility asset protection. Specializing in utility surveys (locates), the multi-disciplined geospatial consultancy provides surveying and location-based services to the government, transport, construction, and energy sectors.

"This transition marks a significant milestone for Select Surveys and our valued clients," said Cordell. "We believe that aligning with LSBUD will not only enhance our capabilities but also open up new avenues for growth and innovation. Our collective focus remains steadfast on expanding and refining our business operations, thereby creating enriching opportunities for our exceptional team members and delivering enhanced services to our loyal clientele."

"As we embark on this new phase of our evolution, we express our gratitude to all those who have contributed to our success thus far," Cordell continued. "We are confident that this strategic partnership will propel Select Surveys to even greater heights while continuing to uphold the standards of excellence that have defined us over the years."

LSBUD helps protect over 1.9 million kilometers of the UK's utility network from damage by immediately providing maps in response to over 15,000 free enquiries every day from people and organizations that are about to dig.

"We are delighted to have completed this deal as part of a strategic plan to extend LSBUD's offering," said Richard Broome, Managing Director of LSBUD. "Our previous growth and development have been organic, so this marks a step-change, a real statement of intent. It's just the start of our plans to extend LSBUD's role and reach. With the combined experience and expertise of both companies, and working closely with our new Select colleagues, this new chapter will help solidify LSBUD's place as the UK's most comprehensive safe digging service."
