Profile summary:

Subsurface utility engineering (SUE) deals with the mapping of underground utilities such as pipelines and cable lines. Subsurface utility engineering also encompasses retrieving information on the present condition of existing subsurface utilities and when and how to relocate subsurface utilities. Subsurface utility engineering uses geophysics, civil engineering and surveying to complete its tasks. Subsurface utility engineering can reduce unnecessary utility relocations and the likelihood that existing utilities will be damaged by new construction projects..
