What Are Utility & Infrastructure Surveys?
Utility and infrastructure surveys locate, map, and document underground and above-ground utilities, transportation corridors, and public assets. These surveys help prevent conflicts, streamline design, and ensure safety during construction.
Prime Engineering’s teams use GNSS/RTK, total stations, and GIS mapping workflows to provide complete datasets for infrastructure projects.
Applications & Use Cases
- Municipal infrastructure mapping
- Utility coordination and conflict analysis
- Roadway and intersection design
- Water, sewer, and drainage system documentation
- Electrical and telecom corridor mapping
- Public works asset inventory and GIS integration
Our Process
- Records Research – Review utility as-builts, GIS databases, and dig-safe plans.
- Field Location & Mapping – Locate utilities using visible structures and surface evidence; coordinate with subsurface utility locators when needed.
- Data Integration – Combine field measurements with existing utility data.
- CAD & GIS Production – Generate accurate, layered maps for engineers and municipalities.
- Quality Review & Delivery – Verify accuracy and formatting for client or agency use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Do you locate underground utilities?
We coordinate with certified utility locators and integrate their data with our field measurements for a complete, accurate map.
Can you provide GIS data for our public works department?
Yes—we deliver shapefiles or GeoPackages compatible with ArcGIS and other municipal systems.
Do you work on state or municipal projects?
Absolutely. We have experience with MassDOT, DPW, and utility infrastructure projects throughout Massachusetts.
Can your data be used for engineering design?
Yes—our CAD deliverables are structured to integrate directly with civil design platforms like AutoCAD Civil 3D.
