Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a Surveying and Mapping process that locates underground utilities during the early development of a project. This process can be used for any public works or private project in conjunction with an excavation activity such as placement of new utilities, upgrading of existing utilities, roadway construction or any other development activity that may impact existing utilities.
Lower your project costs by utilizing Subsurface Utility Engineering services to:
Determine the 3 dimensional (xyz) location of existing utilities thus reducing the potential for utility conflicts and costly utility relocations during the construction phase of your project.
Reduce the potential for down-time claims, injuries, delays, service disruptions, and legal action.
The 3 major activities involved in Subsurface Utility Engineering are:
Designating is the use of geophysical techniques to determine the existence and approximate location of existing underground utilities.
Locating is the use of non-destructive vacuum equipment to locate a utility at critical points along its path to the determine horizontal and vertical position, the size, the composition, and the condition of the utility.
Data Management involves surveying the utility information obtained by designating and locating to the project control. Data is electronically collected in the field, processed, checked, and provided to our clients in CAD or GIS format.
