Task
Provide excavation clearances for multiple contractors on more than 1,000 retail locations nationwide, ensuring the safe installation of more than 30,000 safety bollards for one national retailer
PROBLEM
- A national retail organization and gas station owner plans to install tens of thousands of stationary safety bollards to protect their buildings, employees, and customers from vehicle incursions
- Gas stations have a particularly complex subsurface infrastructure, much of it undocumented, so installing physical barriers could cause unnecessary damages and risk during the excavation phase
- The national retailer is using multiple general contractors across the U.S. for installation, so they need comprehensive and accurate subsurface facilities location and concrete scanning to maintain informational control
Solution
- GPRS was hired to provide EM and GPR utility locating andGPR concrete scans for more than 1,000 retail locations across the U.S.
- We delivered all scans and utility mapping digitally, via either a Job Services Report (for concrete scans) or SiteMap®(for utility mapping) to the retailer and their contractors
Benefits
- GPRS’ national footprint provided the retailer with a rapid response team of GPR and safety experts equipped to provide excavation clearances at more than 1,000 locations, and can continue to provide clearances as the program expands
- Our adherence to Subsurface Investigation Methodology (SIM) meant the retailer could expect a consistent, extremely high level of accuracy, regardless of location
- Digital deliverables provide data and version control to the client, so they can provide the most up-to-date, accurate subsurface information to their contractors
