What is Multi-Channel Ground Penetrating Radar (MCGPR )? In this article we’ll review what MCGPR is, how MCGPR works, how MCGPR is different from traditional GPR, how and when MCGPR is recommended for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) investigations.

Data and Insight to Manage Utility Risk A T2ue team of professional engineers, surveyors, technicians, and CAD operators create a comprehensive plan to address the unique requirements of each project and client.

Utility Myths – Test Holes Determine Quality Level There’s a misperception that performing a test hole always provides Quality level A (QLA) data, even starting from Quality level D (QLD).

Broadband Internet Expansion Funding Across Rural Canada and US is Underway The Canadian and Ontario governments as well as the US Federal government have both announced billions of investment funding to provide all citizens and businesses access to high-speed internet.

Increases in Coastal Tide Levels: Lunar Cycle “wobble” and Mean High Water Surveys The recent study released by NASA Sea Level Change Science Team, projects a surge in coastal flooding starting in the 2030s, due to the alignment of increasing sea levels with the lunar cycle moon “wobble” and its impact on tides.

Design for Construction Safety – Existing Utilities appendix This paper was written by Jim Anspach, P.G. (r), Dist.M.ASCE as the Existing Utilities appendix for a paper being developed by ACEC’s Risk Management Committee, “Design for Construction Safety: A Review of Risks and Challenges for Design Professionals”. The full paper will be posted on ACEC’s website in the near future.

The Importance of Daily “Field Sketches” 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.

Benefits of SUE in Drainage & Wastewater Infrastructure Replacement 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.
