Sub Surface Utility Engineering (S.U.E.) Survey/ Ground-penetrating radar (G.P.R.) Survey

Ridings is using S.U.E. survey process by means of G.P.R. & E.M.L. (Electro Magnetic Locator) technologies in combination. This is done to attain quality levels QL-D, QL-C, QL-B, & QL-A under ASCE 38-02 standard of American Society of Civil Engineers & PAS-128 of European Standard given for underground utilities detection and mapping. Ground Penetrating Radar (G.P.R.) is the most advanced technology available for sub-surface utility investigations and concrete structure scanning. At Ridings we use G.P.R. to create underground pictures of concrete structures to locate utilities, objects, and cracks. These maybe potential hidden dangers, that can seriously impact our client’s project if they remain undetected. The risk is too great when a plastic gas or water pipe may be missed by conventional old-school locators. To solve this R.C.E. utilizes the latest antenna configurations that are optimized for sub-surface utility & investigations. These antennas are designed and manufactured for this specific purpose.

Utility Survey, Mapping Detection (Power, Telecom, Water, Sewer & Gas) & Cavity Detection

Utility mapping is the process of accurately surveying and plotting the position and depth of the detected utilities. Utility designing is the process of accurately creating and developing the identified utility components such as electricity, gas, water, communications, sewers, and drainage.

We provide ‘risk free’ designing and mapping solution for the underground utilities using Ground Penetrating Radar, Electro Magnetic Locator (EML), and DGPS & Electronic Total Stations. Underground Utility construction and installations is problematic and risk prone for project owners, designers, engineers and primarily the contractors for construction projects takes place in areas where a concentration of underground utilities already exists.

We have a full-strength capability of delivering all type of network and supply distribution systems and schemes. We also accomplish the preparation of detailed drawings and project report. We believe in optimizing the utilization of user’s assets using GIS technologies.
