SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING

Reduce Risk. Improve Design Confidence. Build with Certainty.

TAG Geomatics provides specialized utility locating, invert collection, and utility mapping services that support surveyors, engineers, municipalities, and infrastructure consultants throughout every stage of a project.

We work alongside OLS and engineering teams to deliver the critical subsurface utility information required for successful SUE investigations, utility coordination, design, and construction planning.

Our role is simple: we help you understand what is underground before it becomes a problem.

Many survey firms are being asked to provide utility information as part of infrastructure, municipal, transportation, and development projects.

Rather than investing in utility locating equipment, training, certifications, and field resources, many firms choose to partner with TAG Geomatics.

We act as an extension of your team by providing:

  • Utility locating services
  • Invert and structure data collection
  • Utility mapping and GIS support

Utility Designating & Private Locates

Using electromagnetic locating equipment and field investigation techniques, we identify and mark underground utilities to support design, engineering, and survey requirements.

Services include:

  • Watermains
  • Sanitary sewers
  • Storm sewers
  • Gas lines
  • Hydro
  • Telecommunications
  • Fibre optic infrastructure
  • Private utility networks

Invert Collection & Structure Investigations

Accurate invert elevations are critical for design, modelling, and utility conflict analysis. Our crews can collect data independently or coordinate directly with survey crews in the field.

TAG collects:

  • Pipe invert elevations
  • Structure rim elevations
  • Pipe sizes
  • Pipe materials
  • Flow direction
  • Structure attributes
  • Photo/Video Documentation
  • and more

Utility Mapping & GIS Support

We transform field observations, utility locates, and available records into organized utility mapping deliverables.

Deliverables may include:

  • CAD utility plans
  • GIS datasets
  • Utility conflict exhibits
  • Utility inventory mapping
  • Asset management datasets
  • Construction support mapping

Utility Mapping & GIS Support

Successful SUE projects begin with understanding existing utility records.

Deliverables may include:

  • Utility circulation requests
  • Record collection
  • Utility owner coordination
  • Data compilation
  • Utility record interpretation
  • Utility conflict identification
