This past week, Apex Locating Services assisted University of Utah on a SUE (subsurface utility engineering) level investigation. Following up 811 or “Blue stakes” we located and verified the following utilities:
On the same site, we double checked areas where soil borings were going to take place and made sure there were no utility lines present to hinder work. We clarified the marks and found that one line that was drawn out and labeled as a sewer line was incorrectly located. We corrected the marks by identifying the storm drain and confirming the direction of the sewer line using GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) and other equipment.
Calling in a private locator such as ourselves allows our clients to continue work in a timely manner and safely, saving time and money. Just like we did for this client, with us you can be sure it is right.
The sub-surface world is full of the unknown. Water, sewer, gas, communication, and high-voltage electrical lines all weave below ground. Whether these lines are close to the surface or nearly 20 feet below, they pose a significant hazard when digging. By identifying hazards beforehand, you save time and money by preventing line strikes and keeping your crew safe.
