Safety

          In recent years, tighter budgets have dictated that delays and unforeseen costs be minimized at all stages of a project. Inaccurate or incorrect depiction of existing utilities on contract documents can delay the project and increase costs. In fact, information obtained from other sources such as utility companies is rarely accurate enough for design purposes and may not depict 'As Built' conditions. In addition, vertical location information is almost never available. In the past, work may also have been performed and never documented.

When designers and engineers utilize a SUL professional, existing utility infrastructure is mapped. This not only provides great insight to the subsurface conditions, but eliminates the unknown variables. Often, surface structures may have been accidentally removed or covered over.  We know time management and accurate budgeting are essential to any project, which is why we are committed to providing accurate and timely data for your project.  Utilities may lay buried out of sight of the driller. These 'surprise discoveries' translate into lost time and money. These discoveries often result in increased construction costs, costly delays or utility breakages, and all too often injuries or death.
