Utility AI Mapping Decoded: Civil Engineers' Perspective

With the advent of new technology — such as artificial intelligence (AI) utility mapping — those laborious processes are getting easier. Best of all, construction teams get more data earlier in the game — during planning and design instead of days before breaking ground.

Utility Locating Services: Unlock a Safer and More Efficient Construction Process

You've called 811, and they've marked the ground at your construction site. Are you ready to dig? Or should you hire a private utility locating service with subsurface utility engineering (SUE) professionals to take a second look?

A Comprehensive Guide to Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) is a powerful subsurface exploration tool that uses electromagnetic waves to detect and map objects and structures beneath the ground's surface. GPR is useful for locating utilities because it detects what's beneath the surface without the expense and risk of digging or potholing.

What Is Utility Potholing?

Utility potholing can be used to (safely) expose underground utilities such as pipes, cables, and other infrastructure. In this article, we'll look at methods used for potholing, its benefits, and the costs associated with this essential procedure.

How Technology is Revolutionizing Utility Mapping

Digging with confidence only happens when you know, with reasonable certainty, what’s under the surface.

How We're Building the First Nationwide Map of Utilities

In this post, we’ll take a closer look at the data sources and the technology we utilize.

Texas Underground Water Maps: Do You Have Enough Data to Dig with Confidence?

Digging blindly or with outdated information can damage infrastructure.

Water and Sewer Infrastructure Projects in Texas: An Urgent Need

To deliver needed repairs to water and sewer lines, states need adequate funding, access to the right technology, and the ability to mitigate risks during the process.
