Sample Projects
Utility Locating on Construction Site
Veteran Administration hospitals in Tuskegee, AL and Montgomery, AL used VUI's utility mapping
services for campus-wide lighting projects.  New street light power lines were being installed along
roadways, sidewalks and parking lots throughout the properties.  Our maps were used to identify
underground utilities along the trenching and directional boring paths.  Final results were delivered as
printed and CAD maps.  The electronic CAD files were suitable for combining with existing facility maps
for this project and any future excavations in the mapped areas.
GPR Environmental and Brownfield Assessment
A company would like to sell an abandoned industrial site. A potential buyer raises concerns over
the possible  presence of buried drums and underground storage tanks (UST). Virtual Underground is
contracted to conduct an environmental assessment of the brownfield site. A small collection of drums
is  identified. Knowing their precise location, the company is able to quickly remediate the site clearing
the way for the sale.
GPR  Locating
Marietta Power (Marietta, GA) contracted VUI to map all utilities within a power duct-bank installation
corridor.  The 1.5 mile path travelled along city streets and a major state highway.  VUI delivered drawings
of all utility crossings along the path.  These results identified numerous unknown utilities and allowed the
engineers to re-locate the path in highly congested areas.
GPR Utility Locating
A municipality needs to replace a sewer main. The main is in an urban area with multiple utilities and
few accurate records. The project planning team needs to factor  in contingencies resulting in  added
cost and time.  By using our service to acquire an accurate map of the area, unforeseen problems are
minimized resulting in reduced contingencies,  lower cost and less time-to completion.
