Subsurface Utility Engineering in Bowen Island

Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) per ASCE 38 defines four quality levels of subsurface information. Quality Level B (designating with surface geophysics) and Quality Level A (locating with controlled potholing) are the workhorses of design-phase utility verification. We deliver Quality Level B/A subsurface utility engineering for design teams, with deliverables structured to industry standards and integrated into engineering submissions.
