GIS/Mapping - New!
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is an essential tool for planning, implementing,
and/or maintaining facility or print data for utilities and other entities with underground
and above-ground facilities to protect. ARKUPS is now offering GIS services to its
partners. Using industry standard GIS software and the latest GPS hardware; ARKUPS
can provide a variety of GIS services to meet your locating and mapping needs.

SWEAP
We also provide a service to our partners call Strategic Watch and Excavator Assistance
Program (SWEAP). Our utility partners have the option to have our Damage Prevention
Specialists (DPS) work with the excavator to expose their facility. This service
is utilized especially for high profile lines.
We get requests from various groups to provide surveys (identifying lines when there
is no excavation being performed). Some utilities will agree to pay us to identify
their lines for such requests. We will work with you to expedite the process.
Design Associates
Another such survey option is the Design Associate Membership.
The Design Associate Membership is for Project Designers, Engineering and Survey
firms. As a Design Associate Member with
AOC
and ARKUPS you can work directly with ARKUPS on survey requests that include ARKUPS
utility partners. For Design Associate members, when ARKUPS receives a survey request,
an ARKUPS field representative will go to the site, and then contact you with:
- The proposed number of hours necessary to complete the markings
- The utilities that will be marked
- A time frame to complete the markings
If you approve, the cost of the survey will be invoiced to your company. The fee
for being a Design Associate member is $200.00 per year to
AOC
and a $78.00 per hour rate for Design Associate Surveys approved and completed by
ARKUPS.
