Bateman Civil Survey Company has added a VACMASTERS System 3000 truck to its fleet to expand subsurface utility engineering work in Apex, North Carolina. The new vehicle is designed to improve in-house test holes, reduce utility damage risk and speed up pre-construction decisions.

Why it matters: - The new truck gives Bateman Civil Survey Company more control over subsurface utility engineering work before construction starts. - The added capability is meant to reduce the risk of striking underground utilities, which can damage infrastructure and endanger workers. - The truck is intended to improve the accuracy and speed of local SUE services in the Apex, North Carolina area.
