ABOUT US

Concentrating on designating and locating services, which are the foundation for civil engineering and civil construction, we understand that the design and subsequent construction rely on our data and that accuracy is paramount to the final product.

FIRM OVERVIEW

Civil Subsurface Utility Explorations Inc (Civil SUE Inc.) was founded in 2022 with a vision of “Solving The Underground Puzzle.” We realize our goal by deploying highly trained staff with modern geophysical equipment to your sites. We integrate with the design team to develop accurate utility mapping so our clients can design around the underground environment with confidence. (SUE) manages risks by providing utility mapping at appropriate quality levels and coordinating utility design and relocation. Whether you are building a fence or routing a gas line through a downtown intersection, our designation and locating services help you make sound engineering decisions.

Designation uses surface geophysical methods to interpret the presence of a subsurface utility and involves marking its approximate horizontal location on the ground surface.

Utility location (Location or Test Holes) involves exposing and recording precise vertical and horizontal location of utilities (test holes).

To accomplish accurate designation and locating, Civil SUE Inc. offers the following services:

  • Air or Hydro Vacuum Excavation (Locating/ Quality Level “A”)
  • Utility Designating (Quality Level “B”)
  • Duct Rodder Tracing
  • Utility Field Sketch
  • Record Research (Quality Level “C/D”)
  • GPS Locating and Mapping
  • CCTV Pipe Inspection

Concentrating on designating and locating services, which are the foundation for civil engineering and civil construction, we understand that the design and subsequent construction rely on our data and that accuracy is paramount to the final product. We are Virginia-owned and certified SWaM by the Virginia Department of a Small Business & Supplier Diversity and as Small, Women-owned business; Certification number 823876.
