Sitetrax™: Accuracy in Fort Myers Underground Utilities

Constructing Safer, Smart Infrastructure

The underground infrastructure of Fort Myers forms the backbone of the community by supplying water, electricity, gas and telecommunications.

Reliability, safety and an efficient operation of such networks are heavily dependent upon a correct planning and installation and mapping of the networks.

Sitetrax™ is an advanced site development solution that drives the process of locating, mapping and managing underground utilities in order to mitigate risk, prevent costly underground damages and ensure industry regulatory compliance.

The Significance Of Precise Fort Myers Underground Utilities Mapping

Whether building outside in the open air or digging underground, accurate underground utility location data are critical to avoiding unplanned outages, expensive repairs, and dangerous accidents.

Unmarked or misidentified buried pipes and cables can cause dangerous accidents, service outages and legal liabilities. With more advanced utility detection and mapping tools, Sitetrax™ delivers accurate and detailed information before a shovel hits the ground.

Fort Myers Underground Utilities FAQ

What happens in the initial stages of Fort Myers Sewer construction?

Stepping back a bit to the beginning of a sewer construction site, the property has to first be cleared of plants, trash, and abandoned buildings before we could even dig a single hole. By soil testing, the variability of soil types and depth to the water table fill establishes the location of optimum design and placement of sewer lines. Also, we must verify that the project is conforming with the local rules concerning the land use and environmental aspects.

How do they start laying pipe for sewer construction in Fort Myers?

How are sewer lines designed to be laid out in areas with very high ground water such as Southwest Florida? High groundwater sewer lines in locations where the groundwater level is higher than the existing sewer line should not allow the ingress of groundwater to the sewer system. This requires precise mapping of the existing water table and may require shallow depth or water tight sealed sewer lines. Other things like hydraulic gradient as well play a role in flow direction and no backflow.

What environmental concerns are there with building sewers in delicate ecosystems?

Any construction work being done in precious environments must take place with least disturbance to the ecosystem. This could include no-dig technology such as horizontal directional drilling to lay sewer pipes without digging deep trenches. Measures to prevent waterways from becoming polluted by runoff during construction of sewers in Fort Myers, Florida, must be taken.

How are new sewer lines intersecting with old Fort Myers infrastructure being handled by builders?

Complicated coordination and mapping of the other underground utility Fort Myers is needed due to the crossing of existing infrastructure. Utility locating services must be used to locate and mark all utility services prior to digging. Hand digging or vacuum excavation methods are used in the vicinity of such intersections in many instances to avoid damage to existing infrastructure.

How does the rainy season in Southwest Florida impact sewer construction, and how is it dealt with?

Floods and water-logging in both excavation and installation are also possible during the rainy season. To handle these issues, the construction schedule can be manipulated to stay clear of heavy rain season, and water pumps are used to keep the site dry. It is critical to implement a well designed and installed water diversion and sediment control system to control whatever runoff that is generated and to stay within environmental regulations.

What Long-Term Maintenance Do You Need to Plan for When Designing and Building a Sewer?

Future maintenance strategies are a must: wastewater systems should be planned with access for inspection, cleaning and repairs. Manholes must be suitably positioned to allow easy access and the systems need to be built with long lasting materials that withstand corrosion and deterioration. Preventative maintenance should then be required and future accessibility of the equipment specified in the design.
