Are you looking at locations or depths/levels only?
What sort of equipment are you using?
Are you working off a plan?
Normally for a pit/manhole You provide a pair of hurdles & the depth below them required.
You probably have some local code for clearances around the utilities.
Location/depth is critical.
Simple tripod machine with storey pole.
Main Contractor supplys Master Drawings, however it is up to me to zero evrything in-as the people who are provideing isolated drawings are women using Auto-Cad.
Yes the P.U.B. sets the minimum clearance at 100mm, altho 300mm is standard.

I think I better sub this out. Just want to learn the basics.

All jokes aside about Singapore-this is a spanking new Waste Water Treatment facility...If I were to install my pipes and they interfered with
a 8 ft sewer main..I may as well book a flight back to the States- before they send me down to be caned.
