Subsurface Utility Engineering
Engineer around what's really underground.
SUE combines records research, geophysical designating, and vacuum excavation to produce ASCE 38-compliant deliverables — so civil, structural, and utility-owner teams work from one accurate picture of the subsurface.
Overview
Subsurface Utility Engineering
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is the process of identifying, mapping, and evaluating underground infrastructure — pipelines, cables, and conduits — so designers and contractors can plan around what's really there.
- Deliverables mapped to ASCE 38-22 quality levels (QL-D through QL-A).
- Reduces design conflicts, change orders, and strike risk on construction and utility projects.
- Drawings and reports built for handoff to civil, structural, and utility-owner teams.
