Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)

Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a specialized field that focuses on identifying and mapping underground utilities, such as water, gas, and electrical lines, before construction projects begin. By using advanced technology like ground-penetrating radar and utility surveys, SUE helps engineers and planners understand what lies below the surface. This knowledge is essential for avoiding accidents, reducing delays, and minimizing costs during construction. Ultimately, SUE enhances safety and efficiency by ensuring that all underground infrastructure is properly considered and managed.
