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).

It is critical for most projects to determine the actual locations of buried utilities to avoid construction delays, direct damage to a dangerous facility, and possible safety concerns for workers and the public near any future improvements.
