Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)
At Feldman, our Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) division is led by professionals with over 15 years of subsurface investigation experience. SUE is an essential service for those clients who require the locations of subsurface utilities to be at a much higher level of accuracy than the compilation of record plans.
Feldman’s SUE work adheres to the ASCE 38-02 Standard Guidelines for the Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data. Our unique advantage is our field crews’ flexibility to perform a Private Utility Locating (Quality Level B) investigation and immediately locate that field data, which expedites the collection, organization, review, and delivery to our clients. From Records research (Quality level D) to Vacuum Excavation (Quality Level A), we utilize the latest technology and processes in the industry.
Whether it is pre-construction for precise design or on an active construction site, Feldman is here to help clients mitigate the risk of the unknown with our SUE program. Right. From the underGround Up!
