Utility Designating

Utility designating provides subsurface utility information in support of the planning and design phases of commercial construction projects. Utility designating is one of the subsurface utility engineering (SUE) processes used to obtain reliable underground utility information. These processes are categorized by “quality levels” of information.

Utility designating, Quality Level - B, involves the application of appropriate surface geophysical methods to interpret the presence of and horizontal position of an underground utility to mark its approximate location on the ground surface.

Insight™ performs utility designating in accordance with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) investigating and documenting existing utilities ASCE/UESI/CI/ 38-02 standard guidelines for depiction of existing subsurface utility data.
