Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)

Advanced utility locating and mapping to identify underground infrastructure, reduce risk, and support safe excavation and design.

See What’s Below Before You Dig.

Unknown or poorly mapped underground utilities are one of the greatest risks in construction and infrastructure projects. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) provides the clarity needed to plan, design, and excavate safely.

​

We use a combination of advanced detection technologies, surveying expertise, and verification methods to accurately locate and map underground infrastructure—reducing uncertainty and helping prevent costly or dangerous utility strikes.

Utility Locating

Identify buried infrastructure using advanced detection methods.

Accurate Mapping

Precisely document underground utilities in relation to site plans.

Risk Reduction

Minimize the chance of utility strikes and project delays.

Design Support

Provide reliable data to inform engineering and construction decisions.

Road Construction Site

Reducing Risk at Every Stage of Your Project

SUE is more than locating utilities—it’s about reducing uncertainty in the most critical part of your project. By identifying underground infrastructure early, we help prevent costly damage, avoid delays, and improve coordination between design and construction teams.

​

Our structured approach aligns with industry-standard quality levels, ensuring data you can trust at every stage of planning and execution.

Services

Our Subsurface Utility Engineering services provide a structured approach to identifying, mapping, and verifying underground utilities to support safe and informed project planning.

Utility Designation & Detection (QL-C)

We use non-invasive detection methods such as electromagnetic locating and ground-penetrating radar to identify the presence and approximate location of underground utilities.

Utility Mapping & Survey Integration (QL-B)

Once utilities are located, we accurately survey and map their position, integrating this data into site plans and engineering drawings for design use.

Utility Records & Desktop Review (QL-D)

We review existing utility records, as-built drawings, and infrastructure data to build an initial understanding of what may exist underground.

Utility Verification (QL-A)

Where required, we physically expose utilities using safe excavation methods to confirm exact location, depth, and type—providing the highest level of accuracy.
