1. UTILITY SURVEYORS, INC.
AirX Utility Surveyors, Inc. was founded in 2000 as a DBA of a small
engineering firm. Three years later AirX incorporated. For over 15
years, we have consistently provided quality Subsurface Utility
Engineering (SUE) services to clients in Southern California.
Although SUE was commonly practiced in the east coast, this
process was relatively new in Southern California. AirX pioneered
SUE services in the region and is now considered as one of San
Diego’s SUE technology leaders.
AirX offers a comprehensive package that includes vacuum
excavation, locating services (USA call out ticket support or as
needed), ground penetrating radar (GPR), video inspection (CCTV) of ducts, sewer and storm drains, traffic
control plans including traffic control equipment & personnel, permit processing, documentation, survey,
and road surface repairs. Our goal is to provide clients with quality services tailored to meet their needs and
requirements.
AirX has the following certifications: SMALL BUSINESS (MICRO) (#36366) with CA DGS, WOMEN’S
BUSINESS ENTERPRISE (#10050096), County/City of San Diego SMALL LOCAL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
(#11AU0373), SMALL BUSINESS ENTERPRISE with Metrolink (#293883) and the Port of Long Beach
(#257195). AirX is staffed with engineers, contractors, project managers, CADD specialists, locators and
potholers with over 50 years of trade experience.

SUMMARY OF SERVICES
Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) is a process with many different layers of services. AirX Utility Surveyors offers
an extensive package. Our clients enjoy the flexibility to use only those services that best fit their needs. We offer the
following:
Project Management
AirX Project Managers duties include planning and scheduling timelines, reviewing utility alignments, traffic control
plans, final reports, coordination of permit processing, attending preconstruction meetings with inspectors and
working with clients.
Utility Locating
Use of specialized equipment and techniques to identify, locate and markout underground utilities including markout
in support of the Underground Service Alert (USA Dig Alert).
Ground Penetrating Radar
GPR technology uses high frequency electromagnetic waves. The reflected waves are detected by the radar
equipment which allows us to determine the locations of metallic and non-metallic pipes in and below surfaces.
CCTV Sewer Inspection
Through the use of video with lateral launching capabilities, we are able to determine the exact location, direction
and condition of sewer mains and laterals.
Potholing
Use of hydro and vacuum excavation to expose existing utilities for physical location and identification in the field.
Surface Repair
Repairs to asphalt or concrete using hot patch or other agency approved medium. Coring capabilities, and concrete
panel replacement when requested by Client or agency.
Traffic Control
Traffic control plans, permitting, personnel and equipment including set-up, maintenance and teardown.
Cathodic Protection
Set up test stations and launch sacrificial anodes to preserve water lines.
Documentation and Mapping
An exhaustive written and digital report including data sheets with photos and a tabulation record with pertinent
details of utilities that have been potholed. Create or obtain either a topographical or aerial base map of topography
and utilities. Process utility and topographical survey data, review utility records from locating and potholing efforts
and update to create thorough, precise and accountable utility map.

PROJECT APPROACH
LOCATING
Governmental agencies, utility companies and
private entities routinely request documentation
and map research of indexes and databases of
underground utilities. Examples of these agencies
include the County of San Diego, local water and
sewer districts, Caltrans, the Tax assessor’s office,
SDG&E, Cox and AT&T.
AirX locators and engineers find subsurface utilities
with the use of Electromagnetic Profiling, sonar,
GPR, and CCTV. They identify and mark out utilities
as they exist in the field, making note of changes,
inconsistencies or unverified data. Any conflicts
with the proposed project, inconsistencies or
missing data in mapping are then targeted for
additional research, usually by potholing. The use of
preliminary locating can often save a tremendous
amount of time in the initial design process by
identifying or eliminating potential routes for new
facility undergroundings.

PROJECT APPROACH
POTHOLING
Hydro and vacuum excavation are non-destructive
ways of exposing buried utilities
Hydro/vacuum excavation is the use of high-
pressured water to remove soils with efficiency,
speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness. Airx
equipment has cutting rates 3x higher than air-
powered methods.
For environmental or archaeologically sensitive sites,
AirX provides air-powered excavation solutions. AirX
can quickly back fill the hole after excavation using
dry dirt that was removed.
SURFACE REPAIR
Once a utility has been located, it is identified,
measured, photographed and documented. The
utility is then covered with approximately 8”– 10”
of plaster sand with the balance tamped to 95%
compaction with clean, native backfill material.
AirX can then perform either a cold mix or AC
hot patching, whichever is stipulated by the city
inspector.

6. UTILITY SURVEYORS, INC.
PROJECT APPROACH
GROUND PENETRATING RADAR (GPR)
Ground penetrating radar is a nondestructive method of detecting subsurface utilities. The radar signal
(an electromagnetic pulse) picks up reflections given off by buried objects, allowing locators to accurately
detect and map underground utilities. AirX has the latest GPR equipment and highly trained crews to get the
job done.
CCTV INSPECTION
AirX deploys CCTV with lateral launching
capabilities to determine the structural condition of
sewer pipes, storm drains and empty ducts. It is also
used to identify size, composition, pipe integrity,
obstructions and service laterals.

PROJECT APPROACH
TRAFFIC CONTROL
AirX provides an all-inclusive traffic control service. We furnish AutoCAD-rendered Traffic Control and Right
of Way Plans (ROW) to facilitate permit approvals from city and state agencies. AirX has the highly-skilled
and certified technicians and work zone flaggers to manage vehicle traffic. Equipment set-up and tear down
are part of this service.

PROJECT APPROACH
CATHODIC PROTECTION
Cathodic protection is a method used to contain and prevent corrosion in metal and steel structures buried
in soil or immersed in water. AirX is experienced in setting up test stations and installing sacrificial anodes to
protect utilities.
