Utility Investigation School targets utility strike prevention with ASCE training
(UI) - The Utility Investigation School (UIS) will return to Indianapolis May 18–21, offering a four-day training program focused on improving subsurface utility engineering practices and reducing utility strike risk.
Hosted by the Buried Asset Management Institute–International (BAMI-I) in partnership with the ASCE Utility Engineering & Surveying Institute (UESI), the program will take place at the GroundBreakers Training Facility.
Now in its 28th year, the UIS provides hands-on instruction aligned with two key industry standards: ASCE 38-22 for investigating and documenting existing utilities, and ASCE 75-22 for recording and exchanging utility infrastructure data. The curriculum is designed to help engineers, project owners and utility professionals translate standards into field-ready practices.
The training comes as infrastructure investment accelerates across the U.S., increasing the risks and costs associated with utility strikes, project delays and data inaccuracies.
Instruction will be led by industry experts involved in standards development and subsurface utility engineering, with a focus on practical application and data quality in underground infrastructure projects.
Organizers say the program is intended to strengthen consistency in utility investigation practices and improve project outcomes across the planning, design and construction phases.
