Kansas City Streetcar

NG Companies played a crucial role in the KC Streetcar project, locating utilities along the new streetcar route. This high-profile public transit initiative required thorough subsurface investigation to map all underground utilities before construction could begin on the streetcar tracks and supporting infrastructure.

The NG team provided both utility locating and hydrovac services throughout the project corridor. Using advanced ground-penetrating radar and electromagnetic locating equipment, the crew identified and mapped gas lines, water mains, sewer lines, electrical conduits, and telecommunications infrastructure along the planned streetcar route. Hydrovac excavation was then used to verify utility locations through potholing at critical intersections and conflict points.

The accurate utility mapping provided by NG Companies enabled the project engineers to design the streetcar infrastructure with confidence, avoiding costly utility relocations and preventing accidental strikes during construction. This comprehensive approach to damage prevention helped keep the streetcar project on schedule and within budget.
