SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING

Over the decades, highway designers and other civil engineers have had a difficult time obtaining reliable underground utility information. Now this information is available through the use of an engineering process called Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE).
SUE incorporates new and existing technologies to accurately identify, characterize and map underground utility facilities during the early development of a project.
This information is very important as it allows designers to make minor plan changes that avoid unnecessary utility relocations, eliminate unexpected conflicts with utilities and enhance safety during construction.
Four major activities are involved:

	Designation
	Location
	Inspection *Spot Hole*^TM
	Data Management
