Services
Subsurface Utility Engineering
Our SUE services combine geophysics, surveying, and vacuum excavation to create precise underground utility maps. We follow ASCE quality levels from record research to actual exposure, providing CAD files that reduce project risks. This service helps clients avoid utility strikes and save costs during construction phases.
Hydro/Air Vacuum Excavation
Using pressurized water or air with vacuum systems, we safely expose underground utilities through small holes. This method minimizes restoration needs while accurately locating lines. Applications include pipeline repairs, directional boring support, and test pit creation for soil analysis.
Damage Prevention Training
We train construction crews in utility locating best practices and safety protocols. Our program reduces accidents, insurance claims, and project delays by teaching proper pre-construction utility verification processes and emergency response procedures.
