Did you know engaging Abaxa in early-stage planning can save up to 82% in project costs?
The onsite markings from utility locating may not last on some active construction sites due to excavations, weather and surface changes including mowing lawns, new construction or just being driven over by site traffic. Also, ground levels change frequently on most construction sites, which can change the depth of underground utilities. By surveying the elevation of underground assets, the depth can always be determined, even when the ground levels change as the project progresses.
Establishing clash points or the potential movement of critical utilities during the design stage of a project cannot be left to chance. That is why a full underground utility survey should be completed for systematic accuracy when making critical decisions around critical assets.
