3D Models and Digital Twins
Transform complex utility and infrastructure data into accurate, defensible 3D models that support better planning, design coordination, risk management, and decision-making.
Warehouses and Data Centers
Warehouses and data centers are high-demand operational environments where structural performance, safety, and efficiency are critical to maintaining supply chain continuity.
What We Do
Kiwa provides engineering, inspection, and advisory services to support reliable, high-performing logistics facilities operating under continuous use and high throughput conditions.
- Asset and utility investigations – SUE, geophysics, and as-built documentation to improve visibility into complex underground utility networks and manage conflicts
- Facility and structural assessment – Evaluation of slabs, pavements, and building systems for high-load environments
- Geotechnical engineering – Subsurface analysis to support heavy-load design and long-term durability
- Environmental services – Site assessments, permitting, and compliance for industrial development
- Inspection and testing – Materials and system performance verification
- Construction and program support – Oversight of development, expansion, and retrofit projects
Why This Matters
Failures in logistics environments can result in downtime, safety risks, and operational disruption.
Independent expertise helps:
- Reliable infrastructure data for below-ground and above ground utilities and other anomalies improves construction outcomes and reduces risk
- Reduce utility conflicts and construction risk in environments that often have inaccurate or incomplete records
- Ensure slab and pavement performance under high traffic and heavy loads
- Minimize downtime and disruption in continuous operations
- Prevent settlement, cracking, and long-term structural issues
- Support rapid expansion and tight construction schedules
- Meet environmental and regulatory requirements for industrial sites

Our services include
Utility Mapping (ASCE 38 not requested)
Accurate utility data tailored to your project needs, helping you understand existing infrastructure and manage risk without the scope of a full SUE investigation.
Underground Storage Tank Investigations
Identify potential underground storage tanks with confidence using non-invasive Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) investigations that help reduce uncertainty and support informed property decisions.
Inflow and Infiltration Investigations
Identify and confirm the location of groundwater entering sewer systems with inflow and infiltration investigations that support data-driven rehabilitation and asset management decisions.
Tree Root Mapping
Advanced geophysics helps identify and map shallow tree root systems, supporting informed tree management decisions and reducing conflicts with planned construction or existing infrastructure.
Marker Ball Installations
Simplify future utility locating and verification by installing marker balls on difficult-to-detect underground infrastructure.
Private Locates
Identify and mark privately owned underground utilities before excavation, construction, or site development activities begin.
Cross-bore Prevention and Verification
Protect critical underground infrastructure and reduce HDD-related risk with CCTV-based cross-bore prevention and verification services from Kiwa T2.
Archaeological Investigation Support
Kiwa T2 helps identify, map, and document buried archaeological features and cultural heritage resources using advanced geophysical technologies and precise survey methods.
Cemetery/Unmarked Internment Mapping
Kiwa T2 provides non-invasive geophysical investigations to identify and map potential burial-related subsurface anomalies, helping cemetery owners and organizations make informed decisions with care, respect, and confidence.
Sewer Mapping
Accurate sewer mapping that helps owners, engineers, and project teams understand the location and orientation of non-linear sewer infrastructure.
LiDAR and Mobile Mapping
Capture accurate, detailed, and comprehensive spatial data with LiDAR and mobile mapping solutions that support planning, design, construction, asset management, and infrastructure decision-making.
As Built Documentation (ASCE 75/CSA S250)
Professional support for accurate as-built documentation, ensuring compliance with ASCE 75 or CSA S250 standards for engineering and construction projects.
Tracer Wire Verification
Verify tracer wire continuity and connectivity to help support accurate future locating of non-conductive underground utilities.
Forensic Investigation Support
Kiwa T2 uses high-resolution geophysical survey technologies to help investigators identify subsurface anomalies and potential forensic evidence while efficiently narrowing large search areas for follow-up investigation.
