Before you dig, design, or develop—know what’s underground. Our Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) services in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties give engineers, contractors, and municipalities the precise utility data they need to avoid costly delays and dangerous utility conflicts.
We provide ASCE 38-22 compliant SUE surveys, including utility locating, potholing, and digital utility mapping across South Florida. Whether you’re planning a public infrastructure project in Miami or a private development in Pembroke Pines, our team helps you build smarter, faster, and safer.
Why Subsurface Utility Engineering Is Essential for Your Project
SUE is not just about compliance—it’s about protecting your timeline, your budget, and your crew. Our services help you:
- Identify underground utilities before excavation or design
- Reduce the risk of service interruptions and damage
- Avoid change orders due to unmarked or inaccurately marked utilities
- Comply with local and federal safety regulations
Many cities and counties across Florida now require SUE data for permitting and construction approvals. If you’re working in Miami-Dade or Broward, SUE is no longer optional—it’s a necessity.
Our Subsurface Utility Engineering Process
Our approach combines industry standards, advanced equipment, and regional experience to ensure you get the highest utility locating accuracy possible.
Quality Level B – Surface Detection with GPR and EM
We use Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and Electromagnetic Locating (EM) to detect underground utilities. These non-invasive methods help us identify metallic and non-metallic lines, even in complex subsurface environments.
- GPR is ideal for concrete scanning and detecting PVC, fiber, or unknown materials
- EM is used for tracing conductive utilities such as electric, gas, and water lines
Quality Level A – Potholing and Vacuum Excavation
For the most precise data, we offer potholing (daylighting) services using vacuum excavation equipment. This provides exact horizontal and vertical utility locations, required for ASCE Level A compliance.
- Safe, non-destructive, and fast
- Confirms utility type, depth, and position
- Reduces conflict and redesign later in the project
Utility Mapping and Deliverables
All findings are documented in digital formats such as AutoCAD, GIS, and PDF utility maps. These deliverables integrate easily with your existing plans, helping your team visualize and mitigate utility risk during the design phase.
Service Coverage – Miami-Dade and Broward Counties
We proudly serve clients across South Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, Hialeah, Hollywood, Homestead, Coral Springs, Doral, Sunrise, and Plantation — and the rest of Miami-Dade and Broward County.
Whether your project involves roadway reconstruction, vertical construction, underground utilities, or site development—our team delivers SUE data that meets municipal, FDOT, and private-sector requirements.
Who Needs Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Services?
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is essential for safe, efficient, and cost-effective infrastructure development. We support a wide range of clients who rely on SUE services to minimize risk and avoid utility conflicts:
- Civil Engineering Firms: Depend on SUE data to design around existing utilities, reduce rework, and meet ASCE 38-22 standards.
- General Contractors: Use SUE results to avoid underground conflicts, improve site coordination, and reduce change orders.
- Developers: Need accurate utility maps to inform site layout, determine feasibility, and secure construction permits.
- Municipalities and Government Agencies: Utilize SUE for capital improvement projects, roadway expansions, and public safety compliance.
- Utility Providers: Rely on SUE to locate assets, plan upgrades, and prevent service interruptions during adjacent work.
- Transportation Authorities: Integrate SUE into highway and transit projects to avoid utility conflict and maintain project schedules.
Whether you’re breaking ground on a new development or planning a major infrastructure upgrade, SUE data reduces uncertainty, protects assets, and accelerates timelines.
