Utilities
Identifying all existing utilities within the project area and the need to carefully protect utilities- in-place and/or relocate utilities is imperative in order to avoid costly change orders and delays during construction. Utility interferences and subsequent relocations are a part of every project and they must be identified carly and accurately in the design process. It is essential to maintain accurate information.
