[ For SUE Teams ]

Get to QL-D in days, not months

Records research can take months on every SUE project, from agency-by-agency requests to QC, digitizing, and vetting whatever comes back. CivilGrid sources records directly from asset owners with chain-of-custody documentation, and our experienced SUE professionals QC the basemap, so your team can focus on qualifying the QL-D deliverable.

Build every quality level on the same defensible record

CivilGrid establishes a sourced, digitized QL-D foundation, and provides a mobile and web app to seamlessly progress basemaps to QL-C, B, or A.

Capabilities that move design forward

Get QL-D records without the headache

Manual records research is full of unknown unknowns: assets and infrastructure that you don't even realize you're missing. You need a process that gives you a confident foundation.

CivilGrid's proprietary database instantly identifies every asset owner in your project boundary, manages the requests end to end, and returns records normalized and traceable to their source. You start from a complete, documented picture instead of assembling one, so day one is review and scoping, not chasing.

Stop manually researching

Hand download a basemap, not a folder of PDFs

Sourced records are the start, not the deliverable. Someone still has to read every as-built, reconcile symbology and units across dozens of agencies, and draw it.

CivilGrid digitizes the sourced records into full linework layered, georeferenced, and normalized across every source. Export to DWG, DGN, SHP, or KMZ, with the source record traceable behind each line. What lands in your system is a basemap your team reviews and qualifies, not raw material it has to build from.

See how it works

Put field findings on the record

Field data shouldn't live in one person's inbox. Test hole logs come back as PDFs, photos sit on someone's phone, and when design or construction has a question three weeks later, someone rebuilds the answer from memory.

Your field team captures test hole locations, depths, and photos in the CivilGrid mobile app, even offline. Everything syncs to the project map next to the sourced records, so it flows into your deliverables and stays with the project through design support, permitting, and construction.

Capture it once

The platform behind the solution

Mobile pothole documentation

Test hole locations, photos, and measurements captured on site, offline if needed.

Better targeted surveying

Make crews more effective and reduce rework with a surveying field pan informed by QL-D basemaps

GNSS integration

Capture geotagged data, test holes, and comments right from the field on our mobile app. Seamlessly integrate it back into the basemap.

Proprietary Utility Database

Records sourced directly from a proprietary database of 35,000+ utilities, municipalities, and agencies.

Hands-off records requests

Maps and as-built requests managed end to end with per-agency status.

Chain-of-custody documentation

Traceable source records you can attach to the SUE report and stand behind.

Digitization

Convert as-builts and scanned record maps into layered, georeferenced data. They are ready for the basemap and reviewed by in-house experienced utility professionals for consistency and accuracy.

Agency list & contacts

Export every asset owner in the project boundary with contact details, so no utility gets missed.

CAD/GIS export

Basemaps in DWG, DGN, SHP, and KMZ for the SUE report and downstream deliverables. Standardize data with consistent units, symbology, and nomenclature for compatibility.

Trusted where the data matters most

Results measured on live projects by the engineers and utilities who run them. Pick a team to see what changed.

CivilGrid keeps showing its value to me every time I use it. I urge my team to use it on every proposal or project that has a utility component to be even more efficient. Their services keep getting more comprehensive over time and replaces other standalone applications we were using.

Matt Kamkar, QSD, PE, JD

Principal Civil Engineer, Underwood & Rosenblum

CivilGrid is a great tool for our pipeline projects for providing instant access to utility information during the planning and early design stages, identifying affected agencies along an alignment, and capturing field observations that aid in decision making for our designs.

Casey Raines, PE

US West Business Group Leader, Linear Infrastructure, GHD

CivilGrid’s ability to consolidate all project records and requests into a single platform has been incredibly convenient. We no longer need to juggle multiple systems or contact various agencies. Overall, CivilGrid has exceeded our expectations. It’s become an indispensable tool for our projects.

David Song, PE

Principal, Civiltec

CivilGrid’s data specialists are top notch. They are always ready to answer questions, lend assistance, and make product changes to help us work better.

Robert Lundeen

Survey Technician, Mark Thomas

I recommend CivilGrid to all utilities. They are a reliable source for the vital combined utility information that doesn’t exist in most areas.
