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.
Roads, Highways and Bridges
Roadway and bridge systems form the backbone of ground transportation. These assets are highly regulated, frequently cross multiple jurisdictions, and require careful coordination of permitting, utilities, safety standards, and construction staging.
What We Do
Kiwa provides multidisciplinary services that support design, construction, and long-term asset performance, including:
- Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and detailed utility mapping
- Utility conflict identification, relocation planning, and coordination
- Environmental compliance and permitting support
- Geotechnical, structural, and materials assessments
- Construction inspection, QA/QC, and materials testing
- Design reviews for constructability and compliance
Our teams work closely with DOTs, municipalities, and design build partners to reduce utility related delays, verify material and construction quality, and support complex corridor improvements.
Why This Matters
Highway and bridge projects often occur in dense, utility rich corridors and directly impact the traveling public. Early engineering insight, precise utility data, and strong QA/QC practices help reduce redesign cycles, avoid construction conflicts, and maintain safety for both workers and the community.
How Kiwa Delivers Value
Kiwa supports roadway and bridge programs by:
- Reducing utility-related delays through advanced SUE, conflict analysis, and relocation planning
- Improving design feasibility with constructability reviews, early data collection, and multidiscipline engineering input
- Strengthening quality and compliance via construction engineering and inspection, materials testing, quality management and QA/QC oversight
- Streamlining permitting and coordination across DOTs, municipalities, utilities, and contractors
- Enhancing long-term reliability through accurate as built documentation and material performance verification
This integrated approach minimizes redesign cycles, supports complex project phasing, and ensures safe, durable corridor upgrades.

Client case : SH249 Extension, TexasPublic bodies
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.
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.
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) Investigations (ASCE 38)
Professional investigation and analysis of above-ground and underground utilities to provide reliable utility information following the ASCE 38 that supports safer, more informed project planning and design.
Sewer Pipe Condition Assessment (PACP)
Accurate CCTV sewer inspections conducted to NASSCO PACP standards to help owners understand asset condition, prioritize maintenance, and support informed infrastructure decisions.
Public Locate Project Management
Comprehensive management of public utility locate projects, ensuring safe excavation, regulatory compliance, and efficient project delivery.
Utility Coordination
Utility impacts and relocations present significant risks to infrastructure project delays. T2 Utility Engineers Utility Coordination professionals develop a managed approach to identify and guide the complex utility conflict resolution process, working c...
Sewer Lateral Condition Assessment (LACP)
NASSCO-compliant sewer lateral condition assessments to help asset owners understand the condition, performance, and rehabilitation needs of service lateral infrastructure.
Visual Verification of Utilities (Hydro-Vac Excavation)
Direct observation and documentation of exposed utilities to confirm their location and attributes supporting accurate records, design decisions, and construction activities.
Dye Testing
Kiwa T2 provides Dye Testing services to verify sewer connectivity, helping property owners, developers, and engineers identify where private sewer connections discharge into municipal infrastructure.
Site Characterization Support
Kiwa T2 provides advanced geophysical investigations that help clients understand subsurface conditions, identify anomalies, and make informed environmental, remediation, and engineering decisions.
