Key Subsurface Utility Engineering services provided by AMT are:
Quality Level-A: also known as "locating", is the use of non-invasive vacuum excavation at critical points to determine the precise horizontal and vertical position of underground utilities, as well as the type, size, condition, composition and other important characteristics.
Quality Level-B: also known as "designating", involves the use of surface geophysical prospecting techniques to determine the existence and horizontal position of underground utilities. Two-dimensional marking information is obtained utilizing APWA color codes.
Quality Level-C: involves visible inspection of above-ground utility facilities, such as manholes, valve boxes, posts, etc., and correlating this information with existing utility records.
Quality Level-D: information comes solely from existing utility records. This helps to provide for an overall "feel" of the underground utilities.
Additional Services: AMT also provides Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), GIS, vacuum excavation, utility mapping as well as other geophysical services.
