When the Army needed to get out of a tough situation, they called our team of engineers.
Fort Stewart, Hinesville, GA
The plan at Georgia's Fort Stewart Army Base was to install 12,000 linear feet of new sewer force main. Trenching was initiated without first
performing a Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) investigation. Within the first few hundred feet of excavations, significant dig-ins and
damage to previously unknown and unmapped utilities occurred. The project was immediately off schedule, over budget and many of the personnel
on the Base were without power and other utility services.
GEL Geophysics, LLC was called in to help. We performed a Quality Level B SUE investigation using Computer Assisted Radar Tomography (CART), Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR),
and electromagnetic (EM) technologies and mapped out the many unknown
utilities and buried obstacles found along the planned sewer line route. The contractors could now see what was below the surface, eliminating any
additional excavating accidents. The problem was solved and the new sewer line was installed on schedule.
