Subsurface Utility Mapping in Tampa Florida

Subsurface Utility Mapping

Proudly providing Subsurface Utility Surveys in Tampa, Florida
and throughout the Southeastern United States

For Subsurface Utility Mapping (SUM) and Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) in Tampa, Florida, having the right equipment and experience means doing the job right the first time. The SurvTech SUE crew is equipped with a multitude of tools to map your utilities efficiently. The staff is cross-trained to perform SUE and survey services to reduce site visits and simplify communication on your project. As a complete geophysical mapping firm we have access to additional technology for underground utility location. These technologies include lower frequency GPR (100 MHz), electrical resistivity (ERI), electromagnetic conductivity (EM), and seismic technology. Not only can we locate utilities on land, one of our specialties is locating subsurface utilities under water bodies, such as rivers, berths, lakes and oceans.  We have the people and the technology to locate and map any subsurface technology on your project!

Ground Penetrating Radar for Subsurface Utility Locating

GPR is a powerful tool for mapping the depth and location of metallic, non-metallic, plastic, concrete and asbestos-concrete utilities. GPR mapping allows us to systematically cover an area to quickly show the position and condition of multiple buried utilities. GPR surveys on regular grids are recommended for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) projects.

Marking and Mapping

Not only do we mark underground facilities with paint and flags, you can also get detailed CAD and BIM maps of underground facilities. These maps improve project execution, reduce risk and minimize future changes and claims. These detailed maps of your underground facilities can save your project time and money.

Benefits of Utility Mapping

Knowing the intricate details of your project’s subsurface can assist in planning, avoid costly mistakes or delays, and improve safety. Relying on historical data can be oversimplified, inaccurate or simply not properly show current conditions. Partnering with SurvTech Solutions to map your utilities means you have the data to proceed with confidence in your next project.
