Utility Research
We have located underground utilities on many topographic and utility surveys. The surveys have been used for engineering and architectural design purposes specifically for roadway projects, subdivision projects, commercial sites, retail sites, and plant environments.
S&V owns electromagnetic equipment (pipe and cable locators), metal detectors, and excavating and potholing equipment. We utilize vacuum excavation equipment, ground-penetrating radar, and magnetometer equipment as necessary. S&V is familiar with the ASCE “Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data” and use it as a basis for classifying the quality of data associated with existing subsurface utilities.
