Subsurface Utility Locating
Excavating test holes to determine the exact horizontal and vertical location of existing utilities, a critical step to final design and early construction phases.
Advantages & Services Include:
- Test holes determine the exact horizontal and vertical location of existing utilities
- Non-destructive, vacuum excavation exposes the utility at all points of possible conflict
- Field staking of the exact location of the proposed features and possible utility conflicts
- Restoration of the test hole and marking of the location, utilizing established utility designating color codes and ASCE Standards of Practice
- Formal Test Hole Report and Inventory for all structures found
- Total station survey of test hole locations for CADD mapping
