Task
Locate & map all utilities within a hospital parking lot & right of way to give the client a current look at their underground utilities and tie ins
PROBLEM
- The client needed to know the location of their underground utilities so they could reroute or cap them as needed
- The hospital had recently installed solar panels in the area, so they needed to make sure the underground wires weren’t affected by the existing utilities
Solution
- GPRS Project Managers located & mapped all underground utilities in the designated areas by utilizing ground penetrating radar (GPR) and electromagnetic (EM) locators
- They found more utilities than the client expected, so the scope of work expanded to nearby right-of-ways to ensure the client knew where the utilities were tied in
- GPRS’ findings were uploaded to SiteMap® (patent pending) for the client to reference as they proceed in the project life cycle
Benefits
- With the location of all their underground utilities at their fingertips, the client could make effective and resourceful decisions on how to proceed with their project
- Knowing the precise location of the utilities and tie-ins lessens the risk of a utility strike which could impact the hospital’s important daily operations
