Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE)

In the fast-paced world of construction, understanding what lies beneath the surface is key. Bowman’s SUE services offer a comprehensive suite of technologies and methodologies designed to map, analyze and manage subsurface utilities with precision. This sharp focus enables our team to work quickly without compromising accuracy, reducing the risk of costly surprises during construction.

Avoid unnecessary delays and expenses caused by utility conflicts. Bowman’s SUE capabilities are designed to optimize project planning and execution, ultimately saving time and money. Not only this, but the data we provide empowers construction crews to work safely and efficiently around underground infrastructure.
