Underground Utilities & Subsurface Engineering Services
As construction and infrastructure projects become increasingly complex, precise subsurface utility engineering and mapping is critical for municipalities, developers, and individuals planning new builds or renovations. Haley Ward’s new underground utilities and subsurface engineering services offer reliable mapping solutions through a range of services to help reach high standards of accuracy and cost-efficiency.
• Tier 1 provides traditional utility locating with paint on the ground to avoid strikes during construction.
• Tier 2 provides traditional utility locating coupled with surveying, helping clients understand the layout and distribution of underground utilities with detailed utility plans or GIS mapping capabilities.
• Tier 3 offers comprehensive subsurface utility engineering oversight, adding expert due diligence, review and design team support to address and mitigate potential issues on-site
This range of approaches allows Haley Ward to deliver tailored services across projects of all scales.
In addition, according to the ASCE Standard Guidelines for Investigating and Documenting Existing Utilities, subsurface utility engineering can help reduce project expenses by 10% to 15% compared to projects using only lower-quality data. In a sector where unforeseen challenges can quickly escalate budgets, these reductions make our services invaluable to anyone looking to avoid costly complications. Investing in precise utility mapping services can lead to substantial cost savings across various phases of a project. By clearly identifying underground utilities, our clients can reduce potential relocation costs, avoid unnecessary construction delays, and lessen the chances of expensive last-minute adjustments. Research shows that these efficiencies result in reduced administrative, engineering, and construction expenses, as well as a lower risk of cost overruns. Most importantly, subsurface utility engineering minimizes the risk of damage to property, personal injury, or even loss of life that can result from a utility strike.
Utility mapping is essential not only for large-scale municipal projects but also for private developers and individual homeowners. Our services coverall buried utility systems, including electricity, sewer, gas, water, and propane lines, so that any party planning to break ground has a thorough understanding of existing infrastructure. Whether replacing a sewer line or developing a new site, clients benefit from our comprehensive data, leading to informed planning, fewer delays, significant cost control, and safer work sites.
With experience in subsurface engineering and a commitment to precision, Haley Ward’s subsurface utility mapping team is uniquely qualified to deliver outstanding results.
By integrating surveying expertise and advanced utility designation techniques with engineering oversight, our approach involves identifying utility layouts and verifying them against current standards. Our commitment to accuracy and quality helps our clients save time and resources while working to help achieve compliance and safety on every project.
With Haley Ward’s expertise, clients benefit from our commitment to safety, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. Whether for a straightforward project or one requiring engineering oversight, our utility mapping solutions are designed to improve project outcomes, protect budgets, and promote a seamless construction process.
