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
The Strategic Watch and Excavator Assistance Program, or SWEAP, gives our utility
partners the option to have our Damage Prevention Specialists (DPS) work on site
with the excavator to expose their facility. This provides our partners an extra layer
of damage prevention when there is excavation near a high profile facility, or
anytime the utility feels the service is necessary.
Surveys
We provide locating services for non-excavation requests, referred to as surveys. On
a survey, we locate the facilities of our partners who agree to pay for their lines
to be identified when you are not yet ready to begin excavation, but still need the lines located.
Design Associates
Another survey option is the Design Associate Survey, a service for Project Designers,
Engineering, and Survey firms. As a Design Associate Member, you will work directly with ARKUPS in order
to expedite the survey request process when the request includes ARKUPS partners. Since no partner
approval is required on Design Associate Surveys, our DPS will locate all ARKUPS partner facilities
within the scope of the request. Once complete, the cost of the survey will be invoiced to your company.
