This document outlines and describes the Standard Operating Procedures for Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) CADD file(s) preparation as required by the South Carolina Department of Transportation. This document also includes General Utility Locating Guidelines to insure uniformity of data collection quality and consistency.
CI/ASCE Standard 38-02 presents a credible system for classifying the quality of utility location information that is placed in design plans. The Standard addresses issues such as: how utility information can be obtained, what technologies are available to obtain that information; how that information can be conveyed to the information users; who should be responsible for typical collection and depiction tasks; what factors determine which utility quality level attribute to assign to data; and what the relative costs and benefits of the various quality levels are. Used as a reference or as part of a specification, the Standard will assist engineers, project and utility owners, and constructors in developing strategies to reduce risk by improving the reliability of information on existing subsurface utilities in a defined manner.
This report is a resource for understanding subsurface utility engineering (SUE) and bringing up-to-date practices to the application of SUE for public works projects.
This synthesis study is intended to provide airport operators, airport service providers, and utilities/infrastructure owners with ways in which information on subsurface utilities is collected, maintained, and used by airports, their consultants, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to increase the effectiveness of and enhance safety during infrastructure development programs at airports. It compares the current state of technology and effective processes from other industry sectors with what airports do today, allowing airports to consider areas for improvement. To gather relevant information on current practices, literature was reviewed and 16 airports were surveyed.
ABSTRACT: Implementation of Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) during the design process is becoming more and more of a mainstream operational standard for civil engineering projects. Many states are developing systems of implementation within their Department of Transportation (DOT) for SUE to become part of the highway and roadway design process. However, there are still traditional sequences of design development that exist which do not consider the benefits of SUE early enough in the design process or not at all. The proper application to optimize the use of SUE by the Quality Level (QL) of information, the timing, and the designer decision based on project complexity is still needed.
The first choice among land development engineers, this edition is newly updated and expanded. It is required reading for young engineers and a convenient reference for experienced engineers. This is the essential book for civil engineers in land development and provides helpful information for all land development professionals including feasibility studies and cost estimating. Practical Manual of Land Development provides step-by-step instructions for design, including formulas, tools, technical data, guidelines, and checklists to make your development project run smoothly. The Forth Edition emphasizes efficient usage of computers and now includes specifications for ADA and NPDES. It is presented in metric as well English units. New chapters added and charts up-dated.
