Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) prevents unnecessary interruptions of services and project delays due to unexpected encounters with buried utilities and infrastructure. Design engineers can incorporate the locations of existing utilities into their development plans, thereby preempting the expensive and unnecessary relocation of buried infrastructure. In fact, the most recent Federal Highway Administration study shows that for every $1 spent on SUE, a project cost savings of $4.62 was realized.
  • Computer-Assisted Radar Tomography (CART) technology is revolutionizing the SUE process by allowing a three dimensional view of the subsurface.
  • Our SUE services, which utilize CART and additional technologies such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), vacuum excavation, and radio-frequency electromagnetics, are listed below.
