Underground Utility Surveys

A utility can be any installation connected to gas, electricity, heating, cable, or fiber optics that is connected to the city’s water and sewer or private infrastructure system. Underground utility surveys deal with the mapping and descriptions of the underground servicing lines such as ducts, cables, fiber optics, pipes, and associated elements such as manholes, poles, catch basins, transformers, and hydrants.

The completion of utility surveys is essential to the initial planning and future construction development for many projects.

Architects, City Planners, and Developers alike all require a detailed land survey of any existing or planned underground utilities in an area and rely on land surveyors to complete an accurate survey for use in their design.

Underground Utility Surveys in Alberta

Deep services and stormwater installations

As-built Surveys for deep undergrounds help project supervisors establish proper coordinates for design and collision avoidance. This is also beneficial for record keeping and end-of-job redline drawings or closeout.

Sanitary

Sanitary lines that typically have very shallow slopes require additional attention when installing. Proper as built surveys before backfilling can help alleviate concerns.

Buried Power

Buried power on jobs can be very confusing. Power lines can go in any direction. The cables are typically quite lightweight and can be moved easily and deviations from designs can be performed on a whim. Having an up-to-date set of as-built surveys for your buried power can be a lifesaver.

Telecommunications & Fiber Optics

Legal surveying of Right-of-ways or line staking for long-distance fiber optics are essential for any upgrading of service or new installations.

Natural gas lines

Legal surveys are recommended in order to establish boundaries and staking for Natural Gas lines

Underground utility surveys are an essential part of most construction projects. To ensure that your utility survey is performed to a high standard, you should choose a company that has a excellent reputation for carrying out underground utility surveys, whether it’s fiber optics, cable lines, right-of-way surveys, or as-built surveys for existing utility services.
