Our Subsurface Utility Engineering team can accurately locate buried Utilities for your project needs – ASCE Quality Level B Investigation (designates) for a horizontal location of buried utilities, followed by ASCE Quality Level A Investigation (Test Holes) for horizontal and vertical verification, as well as facility confirmation (size, material).
