We can achieve your inquiry at any of the different quality levels of SUE classified as below:
Level D / Records Research & Data Collection
Information gathering record data, this data could be paper records, digital records, internet search, site inspection or just talking to people who are familiar with the site. The available data could be limited and not produce a complete picture of what is on site. And if the source of some data might be questionable, the completeness and accuracy of the investigation could be compromised. Once the data is collected completed, then compiled into a drawing that states the quality level.
Level C / above ground survey
This level involves the process of surveying the visible utility features, checking the surveyed locations for their accuracy. This data is compiled with the Quality Level D data and both levels are labeled accordingly. Quality Level C data could conflict with the Quality Level D data and raise questions as to the locations of some underground utility with plotting some indication marks.
Level B / Utility Designation
Information obtained through the application of appropriate surface geophysical methods and designating the underground utilities, this data is added to the data collected from Quality Levels D and C. The designated utilities are then surveyed and added to the drawing which can then be identified as representing the reproducible results for Quality Level B.
Level A / Test Hole
A horizontal and vertical location of utilities obtained by the actual exposure Involves physically locating the actual utility, The Levels of work build on each other. It can be done on different phases or at the same time. When the drawing of the utility locations is completed it will designate to what quality level each utility line is shown. This will give the designers an idea of the quality of the information they are working which, in turn, will tell then what confidence they can place in the related utility locations, survey and mapping accuracy as defined or expected by the project owner.
