installation of new utilities and excavation of existing utilities. Lack of knowledge on this may
result in fatality and catastrophic damages of existing underground utilities and disruption to
utility services.

Utility Mapping is the process of accurately surveying and plotting the position and depth of the
detected Utilities. Utility Mapping shall include accurately locating and identifying the pipes,
cables and ducting of buried utilities, including but not limited to electricity, gas, water,
communications, sewers and drainage.

Fixed features on the ground such as kerb lines, building outlines, access chambers shall be
shown in the utility mapping drawing so the underground information can be easily referenced
to the above ground fixed features. Drawings are presented in electronic dwg or dxf files. They
