Cardno Ranks No. 8 in 2018 Top 50 Trenchless Engineering Firms List
Lone Tree, CO – Infrastructure and environmental professional services firm Cardno has been rated as the 8th largest trenchless engineering firm by Trenchless Technology Magazine.
Cardno’s trenchless expertise lies in the delivery of Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) services to help clients map underground utility networks and reduce project risk. The company’s work on the Phoenix South Central Light Rail Transit project was highlighted in the publication. The 5.5-mile light rail extension will connect south Phoenix to the city’s downtown. Cardno’s team provided SUE services, using ASCE 38-02 standards as well as land surveying services. Field investigations discovered 80 percent more utilities than were on record, including over two miles of undocumented utilities. Following mapping, Cardno updated and optimized the design which reduced the number of test holes required, saving the client more than $2.5 million in project fees.
