What is a sue field crew?

A sue field crew, often referred to as a "subsurface utility engineering (SUE) crew," is a specialized team that utilizes advanced techniques to locate and map underground utilities before construction projects begin. They employ non-destructive methods such as ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic induction to accurately identify the locations of pipes, cables, and other subsurface infrastructure. This information helps prevent damage during excavation, reduces project delays, and enhances safety on construction sites.
