Excellent free service. Been a little while since I've had to use it but from<br>
memory you must declare occupation when registering and use a mapping tool<br>
similar to google earth to draw a shape of the area of interest. You then<br>
submit your query and promptly receive an automated email with pdf<br>
attachments.<br>
<br>
Shows conduits in the ground and who owns them, eg 4T100 to indicate 4 x<br>
100mm, but would be no further info.<br>
<br>
Looking at the start of the list of DBYD members I can see AAPT, AARNet, Amcom<br>
<br>
<br>
