Subsurface Utility Engineering
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a specialized discipline that involves locating, identifying, and mapping underground utilities like water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications prior to construction projects. By using advanced technology such as ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic sensors, SUE helps prevent accidental damage to these utilities during excavation, which can lead to costly delays and safety hazards. This process ensures that projects are conducted more efficiently, reduces risks, and enhances overall safety by providing a clearer understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
