<br /> when possible and part of the Scope of Work,Depth of a subsurface Utility Segment and/or Utility
<br /> Feature. (ASCE 38-22)
<br /> Electronic Depth (ED): Depth obtained by electromagnetic receiver that has a varying level of
<br /> accuracy based on many factors including soil conditions, connection type, overhead interference,
<br /> etc. ED reports to the center of the induced magnetic field.
<br /> Encasement: A structure that encloses and protects utility facilities and surrounding
<br /> infrastructure, environment, and the public. E.G. Concrete cap, casing pipe, tile, ducts, tunnel.
<br /> Geophysical Method: Application of an established shallow-earth Geophysical Method (such as
<br /> seismic, acoustic, gravitational, magnetic, electrical, and electromagnetic)to observe the physical
<br /> response of the subsurface Utility infrastructure and cultural features, as well as anomalies within
<br /> those responses. (ASCE 38-22)
<br /> Locating: The process of exposing and verifying a Utility for purposes of determining its function,
<br /> type, position, outside dimensions, and other observable Attributes at its exposed points. (ASCE
<br /> 3 8-22)
<br /> Low Wire Sag: Lowest elevation on the lowest wire at a crossing overhead utility.
<br /> Overhead attachment point: Elevation where overhead line is attached to above ground structure
<br /> such as a pole.
<br /> Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE): The specialty practice of civil engineering's Utility
<br /> Engineering branch that includes the investigation, analysis, judgment, and documentation of
<br /> existing Utility networks. (ASCE 38-22)
<br /> Test Hole: A small, limited excavation, made to determine, measure, and record data about a
<br /> buried Utility Segment or Utility Feature. (ASCE 38-22)
<br /> Utility: A privately, publicly, or cooperatively owned pipeline, cable(s), and/or conduits, facility,
<br /> or system for producing, transmitting, or distributing communications, traffic control cables and
<br /> structures, cable television, power, electricity, light, heat, gas, oil, crude products, water, steam,
<br /> waste, stormwater, or any other similar commodity, including any fire or police signal system or
<br /> street lighting system. The term Utility shall also mean the Utility owner/operator inclusive of any
<br /> wholly owned or controlled subsidiary. (ASCE 38-22)
<br /> Utility Feature: A physical component of a Utility. Examples include valves, hydrants, reducers,
<br /> switches, thrust blocks, vaults, and transformers. (ASCE 38-22)
<br /> Utility Investigation: Any or all of a variety of office and field activities undertaken to understand
<br /> and document the existence of, location, and Attributes of existing Utility facilities within the
<br /> project limits. (ASCE 38-22)
