Sub-surface Utility Engineering

Sub-surface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a field that involves carefully identifying, mapping, and managing underground utilities like water pipes, gas lines, power cables, and communication conduits before construction begins. Its goal is to prevent accidental damage, delays, and costly repairs by accurately locating these underground assets. SUE uses methods such as surveys, invasive testing, and advanced technology to create detailed maps, ensuring construction projects proceed safely and efficiently while protecting existing underground infrastructure.
