Subsurface Utility Exploration (SUE) services performed on projects save time and money.

As Florida continues to grow so does the underground maze of utilities that weave across the state. This makes utility location a critical step in the development of any construction project. Accurate and reliable mapping of surrounding utilities during the design phase of a new project, whether it be a highway or apartment complex, has now become necessary to identify hazards before they pose a problem. LOCHRANE'S SUBSURFACE UTILITY EXPLORATION SERVICES USED ON YOUR PROJECT WILL ENSURE SAFETY, A #1 CONCERN, WHILE SIGNIFICANTLY LIMITING THE CHANCES OF PROJECT DELAYS DUE TO UTILITY DAMAGE, SAVING YOU VALUABLE TIME AND MONEY.

Since the initial involvement of Subsurface Utility Exploration in project development, companies have noticed significant savings in overall project costs. With accurate and comprehensive utility layouts and data at their fingertips, companies were able to avoid design conflicts by changing plans in advance, eliminating what potentially could have been a million dollar complication if found during construction.
