With that vision in mind, the client needed retained access to key utility locations and depths long after the field work was completed.
the solution
GPRS and Level A teamed up to provide utility designation and location services. GPRS performed a Level B mark out and collected GPS coordinates of the results. Level A followed behind with vacuum excavation on 89 target utilities. Level A included PVC pipe and capping into the restoration process which will allow the client to access to the utility depth post field work.
The Results
Level A provided GPRS with a KMZ file to include in its reporting. Rogers Builders also received a test hole listing in excel format with data specific to each test hole performed.
