Utility Locating

Drone shot of the North Campus project.

Summary:
Locating of Cornell Utilities Services (Steam, Electric, Water, Chilled Water, Storm & Sanitary Sewers) across the Ithaca campus area, coordinated through U Dig NY.  We also coordinate with private third-parties to ensure that utilities, people, and facilities are protected against subsurface accidents involving utilities.

Getting Started:

  • Call before you dig!  Cornell’s utility locating service is coordinated with U Dig NY
  • Contact us to plan any work that might impact utilities.  Cornell provides utility mapping services to help coordinate utility infrastructure connections, interruptions, replacements, or any other process that might impact or disrupt utilities, and engineering support to ensure appropriate utility connections and interface
  • Field support: working side-by-side with Central Utilities distribution system and mapping professionals, Cornell’s utility locators provide field coordination and assistant to ensure that new and modified utilities are clearly identified and accurately mapped.
