Very few detailed records of underground utilities exist even for recent
work, and route changes often go unrecorded. Records that do exist are often
inaccurate and incomplete. Every year people are injured or killed as a result
of hitting buried pipes and cables during construction and excavation work. In
addition, damaging existing utilities can lead to substantial cost overruns by causing delays for repairs and/or relocating
of conflicting utilities. Utility surveying provides an up-front and cost-effective
means of locating buried utilities.
Subtronic Corporation specializes in the location, marking and mapping
of all underground utilities, using the latest in electromagnetic, acoustic and surveying technologies. Our utility locators
undergo extensive in-house and on site training and are all certified as "competent locators" in compliance
with Senate Bill 1359 (see link).
