Professional SUE Services
Subsurface Utility Engineering, or SUE, is a form of engineering dedicated to accurately identifying and examining underground facilities. At SSMC, we utilize the most current electronic sensing technology and devices, ground penetrating radar (GPR) units, and collection software to ensure the data received and delivered is of the highest quality levels, meeting your needs and exceeding expectations. Our vacuum excavation team possesses decades of expertise and can provide precise excavations in any location due to our outfitted rigs’ compact nature.
SUE services are a crucial part of any construction project, as it helps anticipate and identify risks right from the beginning. Gathering the vertical and horizontal underground utility data early on can prevent revenue loss, damages, and project delays. SSMC’s Subsurface Utility Engineering Division adheres to the ASCE‐38‐02 standard for all quality levels (A, B, C, D) for Collection and Depiction of Existing Subsurface Utility Data. In addition to Orlando, we also service other Florida locations including Chipley subsurface utility engineering (SUE), Tampa subsurface utility engineering (SUE) and Jacksonville subsurface utility engineering (SUE).

Utility Locating & Engineering
At SSMC, we pride ourselves in offering the best, most comprehensive utility locating and engineering services in Central Florida. Our Subsurface Utility Engineering Division complies with all Orange County and Florida Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations. Our projects include extensive Route surveys, commercial developments, construction support, design, and more. Our resources and dedication remain with the client from start to finish to resolve all utility questions or concerns you may have. We also perform hydrographic surveys which allow us to collect data such as the depth and configuration of certain bodies of water.
We strive to offer our clients the most efficient, cost-effective SUE services using current electronic sensing devices, GTAC collection software, GPR, and records research, performing highly mobile, non-destructive vacuum excavation (test holes) equipment to positively identify underground facilities. Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive land surveying and mapping services in Florida. For this reason, we also offer our Orlando land surveying and mapping, Tampa land surveying and mapping, Jacksonville land surveying and mapping, Chipley land surveying and mapping, and Dothan land surveying and mapping services.
Vacuum Excavation
Excavation involves exposing subsurface utilities in conflict areas using specialized tool kits. It is common to schedule a vacuum excavation before or during construction to detect and fix any issues before they get worse and risk delaying the project.
Imaging & Mapping
We employ varying imaging and mapping methods and tools depending on the quality levels necessary for a project’s data. Our services include concrete imaging and mapping, grave location, cemetery mapping, and continuity testing, among others.
Utility Location
We save our clients time and money by accurately representing and locating underground facilities and providing the most reliable vantage point of underground infrastructure. Our teams are also thoroughly trained and certified in Temporary Traffic Control.
VVH Investigations
Our expert Subsurface Utility Engineering Division is able to identify and investigate Verified Vertical Elevation and Horizontal Locations (VVH) to allow the most efficient mobilizations and timelines in our industry.
