Utility Coordination is a vital part of any major infrastructure project. Doing it well can mean that you hardly notice utilities. Doing it poorly can mean that Utilities become a major factor contributing to Cost and Schedule Overruns.
A field sketch captures the detail necessary to perform the quality assurance check that compares the daily field work against the subsequent survey and CAD plot of that field work. New technology for producing field sketches is introduced regularly.
Many cities have sewer systems that have been in place for more than 100 years. What happens when those old systems begin to fail and need replacement? As cities grow and decades of infrastructure is added, the records from individual utilities traditionally aren’t maintained to a reliable standard. That’s where current Subsurface Utility Engineering investigations add tremendous value to project planning and implementation.
The planned development of property in Tampa, Florida led to the discovery of a cemetery founded in 1901 that was no longer part of city maps after 1925. A public housing complex and two private companies had unknowingly been built on top of the two and a half acres that had been part of the original Zion cemetery, one of the first African American cemeteries in Tampa. Determining whether the remains had been exhumed and moved to another location became a priority of multiple groups in Tampa.
The ASCE publication, Subsurface Utility Engineering for Municipalities: Prequalification Criteria and Scope of Work Guide was released in July 2019 to include existing and new technologies and best practices.
