2022年11月1日 · Many States utilize consultants to identify the quality of subsurface utility information needed for highway plans, and to acquire and manage that level of information during the development of highway projects. This engineering practice is known as Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE).

SUE is an acronym for Subsurface Utility Engineering, a branch of engineering that involves utility design and relocation services. A crucial component for any SUE project involves designating and locating existing underground utilities.

The Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Association is organized to promote knowledge, best practices, and the exchange of information in the profession; ensure the protection of public health, welfare and safety; and educate clients and other stakeholders of the value and benefits of subsurface utility engineering services.

Subsurface utility engineering (SUE) refers to a branch of engineering that involves managing certain risks associated with utility mapping at appropriate quality levels, utility coordination, utility relocation design and coordination, utility condition assessment, communication of utility data to concerned parties, utility relocation cost ...

2013年4月18日 · The SUE process or subsurface utility engineering is an engineering practice combining civil engineering, surveying, and geophysics, which utilizes utility locating techniques to provide critical and reliable data on the location of utilities in a specific project area.

2017年6月27日 · SUE Brochure. Subsurface Utility Engineering is not confined to highways. It can be used with good results on airport, railroad, transit, building construction, military, sanitation, nuclear, and any other public works project where underground utilities may be encountered.

2017年6月27日 · Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is an engineering process that has evolved considerably over the past few decades. It has been used primarily by State transportation departments (DOTs), local highway agencies, utility companies, and highway design consultants.

SUE promotes job site safety and reduces the risk of utility strikes and accidents by providing stakeholders with reliable utility information. This allows for proper planning, hazard identification, and the implementation of safety measures to protect workers and the surrounding environment.

As an engineering practice, SUE enables State and local DOTs, design consultants, and utility companies to locate existing subsurface utilities with a high degree of accuracy and comprehensiveness. SUE combines elements of civil engineering, geophysics, and surveying.

2024年8月20日 · Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a critical process used in the planning and design stages of construction projects to manage risks associated with underground utilities. It involves the identification, location, and mapping of underground utilities, such as water lines, gas pipes, electrical conduits, and communication cables, to ensure ...
