Utilities

Utility coordination that keeps
stakeholders aligned

HADONNE helps project teams identify and document existing utilities, coordinate with utility owners, municipalities, designers, and contractors, and resolve conflicts before they affect construction. From S.U.E. and field verification to relocation planning, agreements, and construction support, our team brings clarity to complex utility conditions.

Subsurface Utility Engineering

HADONNE provides Subsurface Utility Engineering services to identify, locate, verify, and map existing underground facilities. Using field investigation, Ground Penetrating Radar, vacuum excavation, and utility mapping, our team delivers accurate, design-ready information that helps clients, engineers, contractors, and designers make informed decisions, reduce conflicts, and plan confidently before construction begins.

Transportation & FDOT Design Support

Detailed surface and subsurface utility mapping helps design teams identify conflicts early and adjust designs to reduce avoidable relocation work.

Design-Build & Construction Support

Field locating and verification services help contractors identify known and unknown utilities, reduce risk of damage, and respond to time-sensitive field conditions.

Municipal Infrastructure Support

HADONNE assists municipalities with locating and mapping existing above- and below-ground facilities, including water, sewer, power, gas, and telecommunications infrastructure.

Private Development Support

Customized utility locating and mapping services help developers, private institutions, and utility companies understand conditions beyond conventional One-Call coverage.

Utility Coordination Services

Successful projects depend on timely, informed coordination between transportation agencies, utility agency owners, municipalities, design consultants, contractors, and other stakeholders. HADONNE combines technical knowledge with a disciplined communication process to help identify conflicts, define responsibilities, manage relocation requirements, and support critical project decisions through design and construction.

FDOT Design Consultant Support

HADONNE assists design consultants with utility records and as-builts, conflict matrices, utility-conflict resolution, relocation-plan review, reimbursement review, agreement support, permit administration, constructability review, and final utility certification.

Design-Build Project Support

Our team supports design-build teams with conflict analysis, relocation concepts, utility relocation costs and schedules, utility agreements, and Utility Work Plan development particularly where utility relocation is on the project’s critical path.

Project Development & Environment

HADONNE coordinates with utility agency owners to develop Utility Assessment Packages that document existing and proposed facilities, compensable interest determinations, and the time and cost associated with relocation tasks.

Municipal & Private Development Support

We assist public and private clients with utility-owner coordination, relocation negotiation, schedule monitoring, quality-control review, permits, project records, and utility installation or relocation planning needed to maintain project momentum.

Resolve Conflicts Early

Our team coordinates with utility owners, agencies, designers, and contractors to evaluate conflicts, support relocation planning, and keep critical utility decisions moving. The result is clearer responsibilities, fewer surprises, and a more reliable path to construction.

Know What’s Below

Utility issues often start with incomplete records or unknown conditions in the field. HADONNE combines utility research, designating, mapping, and field verification to help project teams understand what is present before design and construction decisions are made.
