Mapping Utilities in the Complex Built Environment

When mapping utilities in the complex built environment, it is important to have the proper tools and expertise. Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is the process of mapping the utilities under your feet safely, before you dig. Complex distribution systems being utilized daily by millions can be hard to track, but geophysical tools like electromagnetic induction…

Subsurface Utility Mapping Across Massachusetts

The Infrasense SUE Team is hard at work on subsurface utility mapping projects across Massachusetts. Leveraging advanced tools like 3D ground penetrating radar (3DGPR), EMI utility tracers, and other geophysical methods, we continue to support our client’s projects with accurate and comprehensive utility maps. If you have an upcoming project where we can be of…

Utility Mapping Boston, MA

Subsurface Utility Engineering (S.U.E.) requires working together to plan safe and efficient surveys, which often means overnight shifts to minimize interactions with traffic. In addition to traditional utility mapping tools, Infrasense can deploy vehicle-based ground penetrating radar as part of SUE projects to report other subsurface conditions including pavement layer thicknesses and moisture ingress/ voiding.

Utilities Mapping Near Boston Tunnels

Infrasense recently completed a subsurface utility engineering (SUE) project in the vicinity of the four vent buildings that service the Sumner and Callahan Tunnels in Boston, MA. The project involved reviewing availability site drawings (QL-D), confirming the location of the site features (e.g., water valves, catch basins, manholes) (QL-C), and locating known and unknown utilities…
