Getting Rid of Unused Underground Utilities with Potholing
Potholing is a method used to locate and identify underground utilities without the need for extensive excavation. The fact is, when we start some construction or maintenance projects, having a clear understanding of the underground infrastructure is essential, because it helps you prevent any damage to existing utility lines. Instead of disruptive and costly digging, potholing involves creating small, strategic holes to inspect the subsurface and find the exact location and condition of underground utilities. This process is extremely helpful when dealing with unused or obsolete utility lines. And by using potholing techniques, we can efficiently identify these disused elements without disturbing the surrounding soil too much, which does not only minimize disruption to the environment, but also provides a more focused approach to utility removal. In other words, when you eliminate these unnecessary underground elements you contribute to a streamlined and organized underground enviro...
