Subsurface Utility Engineering Advances
In countries that have very accurate and accessible map records, utility damage events are a rare occurrence. Japan with a one third of the population of the US has less than 200 line strikes per year. We will discuss how creating, sharing, and using accurate maps is critical in reducing damage to buried infrastructure.
