Utilities and Infrastructure Services
Utilities and infrastructure services underpin modern society by delivering essential resources such as water, energy, and communications. These services rely on interconnected assets that must perform safely, reliably, and continuously. Kiwa supports utility providers and infrastructure service operators with independent expertise that helps manage risk, demonstrate compliance, and support resilient infrastructure networks.
What We Do
Kiwa provides comprehensive services to support underground and above-ground utility systems. We identify and depict utility locations and attributes based on records research, field investigation, site conditions, and project-specific accuracy requirements.
Our teams integrate technical, regulatory, and engineering knowledge with advanced tools and data quality workflows to deliver tailored solutions that support the planning, design, inspection, and risk assessment for electric, water, wastewater, and natural gas utility assets.
Why This Matters
Utility service disruptions can result in significant safety risks, public, business, and regulatory impacts, and economic consequences. Accurate and reliable utility information supports risk‑mitigation planning and is essential to maintaining system resilience and service continuity.
