Nuclear Power Utility Mapping Services
GEL Geophysics has provided Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and related utility locating services at multiple nuclear power generating facilities throughout the southeast. We understand that generating facilities expect and require the highest level of safety and risk management in all areas of operation. Construction and other activities that involve excavations and land disturbance carry a significant risk of interrupted services and safety related issues due to damaged underground utilities. Accurate utility locating and mapping minimizes unnecessary interruptions of services, project delays, costs, and safety risks associated with unexpected encounters with buried utilities and infrastructure.
Technologies that can be applied to solve subsurface utility problems include Computer-Assisted Radar Tomography (CART), ground penetrating radar (GPR), radio-frequency electromagnetics, and vacuum excavation. CART provides 3-dimensional subsurface images with unparalleled accuracy. Our SUE and related services are listed below.
