Practical Application of Subsurface Utility Engineering: Best Practices
Publication: Pipelines 2023
ABSTRACT
Mitigating utility risks on projects through the application of subsurface utility engineering (SUE) is an effective way to reduce the overall costs of projects and to mitigate the risks of project delays due to constructability issues, contractor delays, and redesign. Since implemented in 2003, compliant SUE investigations have been completed per the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) 38-02, and now 38-22 Standards throughout the US and Canada. This paper will focus on detailing the best practices to completing SUE investigations under these standards.
