QLB Subsurface Utility Engineering - S.U.E.

• Subsurface Utility Engineering
  • 
    AEI Corp. implements the latest technologies in the industry to assist engineers, municipalities, towns and utility providers the means to observe and map the underground infrastructure safely and effectively.Click Above for More Info
• Subsurface Utility Investigation
  • 
    This non destructive investigation requires multiple types of geophysical survey to be performed, combined with existing drawings (if any) to produce a physical markup on the ground revealing all subsurface utility features in a given area.Click Above for More Info
• G.P.R. Survey
  • 
    The preferred geophysical survey method for utility investigations; It is used to locate buried lines, storage tanks, pipes and conduits as well as to determine the structural integrity of the ground underneath a road or runway.Click Above for More Info
• Concrete Imaging
  • 
    Concrete imaging is an application used to mark-out position or depth of anything embedded within a concrete structure; these targets include re bar, cables, conduits etc.Click Above for More Info
• Vacuum Excavating
  • 
    Physically exposing utilities with non destructive excavation for the most accurate investigations, Air (hydro also available) vacuum excavation provides QLA subsurface utility engineering (SUE) data; determining the precise vertical, horizontal, size and type of the utility for accurate planning and cross section of the object exposed.Click Above for More Info
• Investigations for H.D.D.
  • 
    Confirming the depth of cover on each crossing practically eliminates the risk of compromising a line. Exact trajectories and depths of installation pathway can be planned in advance.Click Above for More Info

While the collection and use of SUE (Subsurface Utility Engineering) data is critical to the design element of any project, it may be only the first step in a longer range strategy for utility owners and public agencies. We will provide engineers the SUE data and ensure its transfer to design engineers for the development of more accurate PS&E's.

• The accurate designation of underground utilities is essential to successfully working in the subsurface structure. Our surveys will save you time, money and enhance the safety of your project.
• AEI’s S.U.E. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) information. services can aid the engineering design process by researching, designating, and locating subsurface utilities as dictated by scope.
• By implementing our subsurface investigation strategy, clients will be provided with the S.U.E.  QLB documentation, a paper blueprint and digital format of choice, clearly showing surveyed locations of existing surface and subsurface utilities within their project limits. 
• Applying geophysical techniques to S.U.E. process

AEI will designate existing utilities, structures, and survey the proposed work area. The survey plans will depict existing surface and subsurface utilities as identified in the field by AEI Corp. Any infrastructure found will be survey marked to its horizontal position. Marking the locations horizontally on surface with flagging in soil areas or chalk or water based paint on paved areas. Upon completion of the project, a scalable blueprint along with a digital format of choice will be developed referring to the compilation of data collected; showing all existing utilities, structures and appurtenances designated by AEI's investigation.
