Subsurface Utility Engineering

KCI’s subsurface utility engineering (SUE) professionals deliver quality, accurate mapping of existing underground utilities, helping clients avoid costly utility conflicts or construction delays caused by unknown or misrepresented utilities. We maintain the most up-to-date utility designating and location equipment on the market. Our capabilities include designating existing utilities using geophysical prospecting techniques that utilize electromagnetic and sonic methodologies and equipment. In addition, we have the in-house capability to obtain accurate horizontal and vertical positions of subsurface utilities by excavating a non-destructive test pit using our vacuum evacuation equipment and vehicles.
