East Port Orchard Property-Wide Utility Locating & Mapping

The job on East Port Orchard properties

The order matters: assess, then mark, then draw. On retail along Bethel Avenue near Retsil the second step is the long one, because till sloping toward Sinclair Inlet and the length of the private system set the pace. The result is condition notes for the water system and site plan of private utilities with.

Here's how property utility mapping runs on a East Port Orchard site. We assess; on condo and apartment complexes off Mile Hill that means working at the West Sound Utility District master meter and the building shutoffs. We mark, through till sloping toward Sinclair Inlet and across Retsil. We draw, and the manager gets depth estimates.

What's under East Port Orchard's larger sites

What we know about East Port Orchard's larger properties: east Port Orchard's multi-family and campus sites date from the 1970s and 80s on West Sound Utility District master meters, with hardpan that surfaces leaks downhill and clay near the inlet that hides them. On the Veterans Home campus area near Jackson Avenue we plan for subdivision backfill over hardpan and for a system with no drawing.

Near Retsil and Annapolis the clay seams delay the signs.

From Bethel Avenue to Jackson Avenue the property utility mapping pattern holds: retail along Bethel Avenue, subdivision backfill over hardpan, a property with no drawings of its private, and an owner who wants condition notes for the water system before approving a dig. That's the order we work in.

One crew, start to finish

On school and park facilities near Mile Hill Drive we've done property utility mapping after hours with the site taped and lit, pumps running, and residents told what to expect. About twenty minutes across the inlet, and the report with photos goes to the board or owner the next morning, along with a candid note about the rest of the system under clay seams near Retsil.
