PROJECT APPLICATION
ASK
Task
Locate and map utilities to clear the planned locations of 19 soil borings.
PROBLEM
- The client needed to take soil borings at 19 locations across 130 acres of wooded, hilly environment as part of their construction planning
- They needed to know there were no buried utilities near these locations – striking one could derail the project’s schedule and budget, cause service interruptions to nearby residents, and endanger workers
- The dense undergrowth and uneven terrain made locating utilities in the area exceptionally challenging
Solution
- GPRS deployed two Project Managers who used electromagnetic (EM) locating in conjunction with their GPR scanners to verify the location of utilities around the soil boring locations
- The Project Managers completed their work in five hours on site
- The accurate, field-verified data GPRS collected was uploaded into SiteMap® (patent pending), GPRS’ infrastructure mapping software application
Benefits
- The client had the accurate infrastructure data they needed to conduct their soil borings safely and without risk of subsurface damage
- GPRS’ ability to rapidly deploy two Project Managers to the project ensured the client could stay on time, on budget, and safe
- Located & mapped utility data available generally within minutes of job completion thanks to SiteMap
