Subsurface Utility Engineering (S.U.E)
Subsurface utility engineering has become a necessary and vital tool to our clients. Our StarVac soft dig vehicle allows for non-invasive recovery of subsurface utilities of all types. Using a 1200-gallon, 28-inch StarVac soft dig system, we are able to uncover various underground utilities and create enhanced mapping opportunities for our clients.
Our services and procedures adhere and comply with the American Society of Civil Engineers? standard guideline for the collection and depiction of existing subsurface utility data. We offer mapping quality Levels A through D, depending on the needs of our clients. We are available day and night with a highly skilled and experienced team of operators. Our service is a rapid-responder to all types of cliental and project situations.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Using electromagnetic pulses or radio waves, GPR can safely show designers, engineers and general contractors what lies below the surface without excavation. GPR is a safe, non-invasive geophysical investigation tool that can locate utilities, rock strata formations and even groundwater tables.
Our utility mapping team provide our clients with enhanced mapping and location services with new and innovative dimension to actually see what is underground, without time consuming and costly probing and test excavation.
Utility Coordination
Utility conflicts can cause delays and service interruptions. These problems are often time consuming and expensive. Utility coordinators identify conflicts that occur when planned or proposed utilities impact already in place or existing utilities and improvements.
Our team?s meticulous mapping methods, awareness and coordination of these proposed and existing utilities help engineers, general contractors, utility providers and municipalities reduce conflicts and ultimately minimize or eliminate impacts or delays.
G.I.S. Mapping
Geographical information systems (GIS) has raced to the front of cutting edge technologies. Using a combination of interactive digital mapping and database technologies, GIS has quickly become the next generation resource for utility mapping.
Our utility mapping team offers clients much more than static, paper maps depicting utility networks, systems or circuits. GIS now provides asset management, inventories, systems analysis tools and real time system conditions and monitoring. Using GPS, conventional surveying and subsurface utility engineering, our team can locate and identify the elements, attributes and condition of these networks and offer a true working model to our clients.
We also offer the support, update and maintenance of our GIS deliverables to ensure that our clients have the most up-to-date and accurate mapping resources available.
