What are SUE services?

Subsurface Utility Engineering is a branch of engineering that involves the investigation of buried utilities and identifies the conflicts they may pose to a project design in order to mitigate associated risks. Having this information from the start will assure a thorough and competent design, which will make construction easier as the project continues.

Utility Mapping/Locating

Utility Mapping/Locating

Our utility mapping/locating services use high-tech equipment, such as Ground Penetrating Radar/GPR and electromagnetic induction/EMI, to create a detailed map of cables, pipes, and other utilities under the surface of a site.
By verifying existing subsurface infrastructure and managing safe excavation practices, we’re subsequently able to avoid risking any damage to the underground utilities.

Potholing with Hydro & Air Excavation

Potholing with Hydro & Air Excavation

Potholing is the process of digging a test hole to expose underground facilities. We use hydro and air excavation techniques, which are proven to be faster, more efficient, and more productive than conventional equipment.

Utility potholing ensures that all gas, water, and electrical pipes and other utilities remain completely undamaged during construction.

Closed Circuit Television Video (CCTV) Inspections

Whether you need a video inspection for storm drains, conduits, sewers, water/gas lines, and other pipelines, our services will cover all your needs. Doing a thorough CCTV inspection will eliminate the worry of causing damage by identifying areas of risk as well as a complete picture of what lies under the surface.

We offer CCTV pipe and sewer video inspections with the newest state-of-the-art technology. Our operators are NASSCO certified.

Traffic Control Management
