Sub-Surface Utility Engineering (Utility Mapping)

Key Aspects of the Project:

The project involves the investigation/study of underground utilities by using geophysical techniques like GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) and Induction Locator devices for appropriate quality levels, utility condition assessment, communication of utility data to the construction team, and designing. 

Services Rendered and Methodology:

The scope of work involves the detection of underground utilities from the SUE Survey on given routes using geophysical techniques like GPR & Induction locator. SUE Program adheres to the four quality levels outlined by the ASCE Standard (Quality-A/B/C/D). Detected utilities should be categorized with respective quality levels as per the degrees of risk. The use of quality levels allows project owners to decide what quality level of information they want to apply to their risk management challenge and to certify on project plans that a certain level of accuracy and comprehensiveness has been provided. Provide a GIS-based SUE report containing all information collected from the topographic survey and SUE survey with Quality Levels.
