ASCE publishes new report on subsurface utility engineering

The American Society of Civil Engineers has published a new book entitled Subsurface Utility Engineering for Municipalities: Prequalification Criteria and Scope of Work Guide.

The 98-page soft-cover book is a resource for understanding subsurface utility engineering (SUE) and bringing up‐to‐date practices to the application of SUE for public works projects.

SUE incorporates existing and emerging technology to identify, characterize, and map underground utility facilities throughout the project development process.

This book answers basic questions about SUE, such as, “What is it?”, “How is it used?” and “What is its future?”

Also included are chapters on consultant prequalification criteria and a checklist of scoping items that affect costs and scheduling.
