S.U.E. - Subsurface Utility Engineering

The knowledge of what lies beneath the ground surface is vital as inaccurate records can result in expensive damage, conflicts, delays, service disruptions, redesigns, claims and injuries. To bypass these issues, many clients turn to TST Engineering Group, a recognised market leader in Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE).

SUE is an engineering practice that has evolved considerably over the past few decades. Subsurface Utility Engineering combines civil engineering, surveying and geophysics. Utilising cutting edge Georadar technology and the above mentioned specialisations, TST to provide cost-effective location, collection, depiction, mapping and design of the existing utilities accurate position.

The combination of cutting edge Ground Penetrating Radar technologies and innovative practices are managed by the Group to avoid risk characteristics of normal intrusive works carried out when locating underground utilities. For our clients this leads to saving time and money while avoiding any possibility of dangerous consequences and/or interruption of existing utility services.

Buried utilities are located with non-destructive GPR and Radiodetection technologies which record locations, depths, characteristics, and state of use of the underground networks.

TST Engineering Group provides customized results to any Clients’ request; a wide range of layouts are available, including simple mark-out on site, 2D and 3D digital maps.

A fully detailed Technical Report is always provided in conjunction with the digital map allowing for clarification of all findings while avoiding any potential misunderstandings of the final results.

Thanks to this information our clients are able to:

• Avoid risks and accidental damages to buried utilities

• Pre plan possible diversion of utilities

• Project new underground networks

TST Engineering Group operates Subsurface Utility Engineering achieving the highest level of accuracy on underground mapping as described by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The CI/ASCE 38-02 is the “Standard Guideline for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data” and it represents a document that defines the quality of utility location. The classification is operated through four different levels, from D to A. From the lowest one (Level D) which is based from information derived from existing records, to the highest one (Level A) which determines the absolute precise location of buried utilities. TST Engineering Group is committed to provide information that complies with the Quality Level A of the CI/ASCE 38-02.
