CUES Accurate Mapping Probe used in Project of the Year
RAVAN AIR, alongside its sibling company, Tru-Tek, completed a project installing a natural gas line underneath Chartiers Creek in Washington, Pennsylvania. During the pipeline inspection process, RAVAN AIR located a 70-inch steel wastewater pipe that was unable to be located using traditional means underneath a state road using the CUES Accurate Mapping Probe. This underground mapping method prevented major traffic disruptions and saved considerable time and resources, while also providing the means to safely perform future projects without the possibility of cross-bores or other damage. Chosen as the Gas Distribution Project of the Year, it was honored at the 2023 Underground Construction Awards.
