Scanning Proposed Borehole Locations for Utilities
Environmental and engineering firms often are tasked with performing soil borings for monitor well installation as part of a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment. This task becomes more challenging when the borings are to be installed in gasoline stations, right of ways or other areas where there are numerous underground utilities that are either unmarked or not properly located. GeoView can assist in these situations by performing a private utility locate and marking the utilities within a 3 to 5 foot radius of each proposed borehole.
Utility Locating at a Gasoline Station
As part of an Phase II Environmental Site Assessment at a gasoline station, GeoView was tasked with locating and mapping the utilities within the boundaries of the property. The utilities included electrical lines, communication lines, PVC and metal water lines, sewer lines and fiberglass fuel lines. The property did not have any as-builts to reference. As standard procedure, GeoView personel had the required general and site specific safety and API worksafe training.
Utility Locating and Mapping at a Power Plant
An expansion was planned at a power plant in west central Florida. As part of the design build plan, all of the utilities within the proposed building footprint had to be located and mapped.
