Utility Investigation - Damage Prevention
Underground and above‑ground utilities pose significant safety, schedule, and cost risks to infrastructure projects. To reduce these risks, Kiwa T2 applies professional engineering judgment, advanced geophysical and geospatial methods, and structured investigation processes to identify, characterize, and document utility infrastructure. We deliver ASCE 38‑22–compliant Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and modified utility investigations tailored to project scope, risk, and budget—providing reliable data for confident design decisions and proactive utility risk management. In addition, we provide As-Built geospatial and attribute data to develop or improve digital datasets for new utility installations. We use ASCE 75, the national as-built Standard, as the foundation to collect and document utility infrastructure location in support of utility engineering. These services are central to utility infrastructure damage prevention.
Transportation Infrastructure Inspection, Risk and Quality
Transportation networks, such as highways, bridges, rail systems, airports and transit corridors, are the backbone of economic vitality, mobility, and public safety. Their performance and resilience depend on independent inspection, engineering expertise, utility risk management, and rigorous construction quality assurance. Kiwa delivers these capabilities through Kiwa T2 whose integrated approach enhances safety, reduces risk, and elevates the quality and reliability of transportation infrastructure projects.
Geospatial and Geophysics
Accurate geospatial and geophysical information is essential for safe, efficient infrastructure planning, development, and construction. Kiwa’s geospatial and geophysical practices support complex infrastructure projects by delivering high-resolution, decision-ready data that helps engineers, designers, and project owners understand existing site conditions and mitigate risk before design or construction begins.
