Abstract: "SUE is considered an effective practice by many organizations.... SUE is used to better understand underground infrastructure during the planning and designing phases of projects. The intent is to design around utilities in the interest of public safety. The recommendation is to include SUE in the design phase. SUE combines civil engineering, surveying and geophysics to meet damage prevention goals.
Notes: best practices are recommendations of the Underground Damage Prevention Safety Commission.
"This Best Practice is meant to help industry stakeholders and the public understand the concept of Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) by defining it, citing relevant sources and portions of the Excavation Requirements Statute, and discussing practical application/intention of the law."
