PROJECT APPLICATION
The project scope required accurate utility locates in urban, suburban, and rural settings to provide clearance data so that TEP could excavate at each foundation to verify its anchors.
ASK
Clear the base of each of 54 towers nationwide so that TEP could conduct anchor validation excavation with consistent pricing
Task
Tower Engineering Professionals partnered with GPRS for accurate and efficient utility locates at 54 telecom tower foundations throughout the U.S.
PROBLEM
- TEP needed to dig at the base of the foundations to validate existing anchors
- A previous locate had misidentified some utility lines and left other utilities unmarked
- Budget overruns were an issue due to inconsistent utility locator pricing
Solution
- Our nationwide team of 500 SIM-certified Project Managers located utilities and subsurface obstructions with 99.8%+ accuracy at each site
- GPRS accurately identified unknown private utilities and verified public utilities onsite, to eliminate utility strikes for the project
- Our national pricing and partnership agreements reduce unnecessary paperwork and logistics and keep prices consistent
Benefits
- On Time: Due to our rapid response, we kept the project moving, reducing downtime
- On Budget: There were ZERO utility damages once GPRS was on the job, allowing the project to stay on budget
- Safety: Knowing where utilities lie under the ground helped keep all workers safe
- Reputation: No strikes or delays kept TEP’s valuable reputation safe
- GPRS provided complimentary PDF and KMZ files as well as CAD drawings of each tower foundation locate
