Subsurface Utility Engineering

Three workers wearing safety vests and helmets work with a vacuum truck to perform maintenance or cleanup in a desert area with an open sky and clouds.

Uncover the Unknown

H2O Terra provides full local service of all SUE levels (A-D), including utility line exposure (potholing) using soft-dig air/water vacuum excavation.

All levels of SUE are documented utilizing surveying equipment such as GPS units, Robotic Units, Total Stations, Level Rods, Automatic Levels, and Handheld Scanners where needed.

Our SUE Capabilities

  • Three workers in safety vests and helmets operate a vacuum truck on a gravel lot, with a blue sky and scattered clouds overhead.

    Level A SUE

    Using non-destructive vacuum excavation, Level A SUE provides exact utility location, depth, and condition, ensuring safe and efficient project execution.

  • A person in a yellow safety vest standing next to a self-driving robot car on a paved surface, with a chain-link fence and grass in the background.

    Ground Penetrating Radar

    GPR uses electromagnetic waves to detect underground utilities, structures, and geological features with precision and efficiency.

  • An arid landscape with sparse vegetation and a dirt road leading to industrial structures, including two tall white silos with yellow bands, under a clear blue sky.

    Utility Locating

    Accurately locates underground utilities on private properties, preventing damage and costly disruptions. Using advanced technology ensures safe excavation and efficient project planning.

  • Aerial view of a residential construction site with lots of empty lots, roads, and some buildings in progress.

    Underground Mapping

    We use advanced technology to locate and visualize subsurface utilities, structures, and geological features. It enhances safety, prevents costly damage, and streamlines project planning.
