• Abstract:
  Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is an engineering process that incorporates new and existing technologies to accurately and comprehensively identify, characterize, and map underground utility facilities early in the development of a highway project. This process includes dissemination of the resulting underground utilities information to the right people at the right time, so that cost-effective design decisions can be made and quality levels of information can be depicted on highway plans. Subsurface utility engineering results in substantial savings to highway agencies, utilities, and taxpayers/ratepayers. This Handbook contains two parts: • Part I answers some basic questions about subsurface utility engineering, such as -- - what is it? - why use it? - what does it cost? - who provides it? - who uses it? - what is its future? • Part II provides some useful information about subsurface utility engineering, such as -- - a sample State request for letters of interest. - a sample State request for proposals (RFP). - a sample State/consultant agreement More information.
