SR-18 (BLUFF ST.); ST. GEORGE BLVD. TO SUNSET BLVD., ST. GEORGE

The SUE Solutions team successfully completed the utility investigations for this UDOT Region Four project located in St. George, Utah. SUE Solutions contracted with the project’s design consultant and UDOT Region Four to provide subsurface utility engineering in the form of Quality Level D (existing utility owner mapping research), Quality Level C (sewer and storm drain data collection), Quality Level B (horizontal designating), and Quality Level A (test holes) for this project. The project consists of roadway reconstruction and widening, for the development of a “super street”, to aid in the safety and traffic flow for the traveling public. SUE Solutions researched the existing utility owners within the project area and used their existing mapping to designate the underground utilities throughout all areas of the project. Extensive utility coordination with utility owners, as well as close communication with the project’s survey staff also took place to ensure the accurate collection and depiction of the utilities designated to Quality Level B and A standards and specifications. Upon completion of the Quality Level B investigations, SUE Solutions designated and coordinated the survey and CAD of approximately 42,865 feet of existing underground utilities to Quality level B specifications, and completed the gathering of data and information for approximately 7,335 feet of sewer and storm drain facilities (Quality Level C). In addition, SUE Solutions also completed twenty-five (25) test holes at critical locations within the project gathering crucial utility information, vital to the project’s design. Utilities designated and located included culinary water, natural gas, electrical, phone, fiber optics, and CATV. SUE Solutions was able to complete the SUE investigations ahead of schedule and on budget.
