Abstract:

Highway designers in the United States often do not have reliable information about what lies underground where projects are planned. Unexpected conflicts during construction are one of the leading causes of delays and cost overruns. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) helps solve this problem by using engineering, surveying, and underground-detection tools to locate and map utilities early in the planning and design process, reducing the risk of costly surprises later.
