Subsurface Utility Engineering
Subsurface Engineering Companies:If
you are interested in being part of Georgia DOT's SUE Program please review
the current status below, then contact our State
Subsurface Utility Engineer for more information.
Subsurface Utility Engineering is a relatively new engineering process to
accurately locate and map underground utilities during the early design of
a highway project. The benefits include:
- Accurate and timely utility information to the roadway designer.
- Possible reduction in utility relocation costs by allowing the designer
to make informed design decisions around potential utility conflicts.
- Possible reduction in unexpected conflicts with utilities which can cause
construction delays, damages, service disruptions, claims, and even injuries
or lost lives.
There is on-line information for Consultants that are interested in becoming
