A subsurface utility engineering (SUE) crew performed a Quality Level B investigation to support the redevelopment of an existing building into a new O’Reilly Auto Parts store in Wakefield, Virginia, formerly occupied by a Family Dollar. Due to the site’s prior development, the project required a thorough assessment of existing underground utility infrastructure to support renovation and any associated site modifications. The scope of work included the use of electromagnetic utility locating equipment and ground penetrating radar (GPR) to designate and map detectable subsurface utilities within the project limits. All identified utilities were marked on the ground surface and surveyed to establish accurate horizontal positions. The resulting SUE data provides the design and construction teams with a clearer understanding of existing site conditions, helping to reduce risk, avoid utility conflicts, and support efficient project execution.
