Subsurface Utility Mapping

Subsurface Utility Mapping involves identifying and documenting underground utilities like water pipes, gas lines, and electrical cables. This process helps construction and engineering teams avoid damaging underground infrastructure during excavation or development. Techniques include ground-penetrating radar, electromagnetic methods, and existing utility records to create accurate maps. Proper mapping reduces risks, delays, and costs, ensuring safe and efficient work. It essentially provides a detailed picture of what lies beneath the surface before digging begins.
