As-built surveys have one hard deadline: before the trench gets backfilled.

Once utilities are buried, their exact position is gone unless someone documented it. That record is what gets referenced years later when a maintenance crew needs to dig—or when a dispute comes up about what was actually installed.

In our latest article, you'll learn how crews are running that workflow with Reach receivers and Emlid Flow: https://blog.emlid.com/as-built-fb

The trench is open, the pipe is in, the clock is running.

Everything that happens between now and backfill determines whether this job holds up at inspection, and whether the next crew to excavate here finds the pipe where the record says it is.

We covered how field teams run RTK across a full utility and wet utility project, from staking the alignment to capturing the as-built before the trench closes.

You'll get the full picture of how a GNSS receiver covers every accuracy moment on the job, without calling the survey crew back every time: https://eu1.hubs.ly/H0vv4fN0
