Hydro Excavation, SUE Level A & Subsurface Utility Engineering Services Nationwide: Safe2core Inc Marks 16 Years of Infrastructure Safety Leadership

SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Safe2core Inc, a national provider of hydro excavation services, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE Level A), and non-destructive subsurface investigation, today announced its 16th anniversary, marking more than a decade and a half of leadership in utility risk mitigation and construction safety.

Founded by Antonio Guzman in San Jose, California, Safe2core has grown into a single-source subsurface services contractor, supporting engineers, municipalities, utilities, and commercial builders across California, Arizona, Florida, and other high-growth infrastructure markets.

From Concrete Scanning to Full-Stack Subsurface Engineering

What began as a specialized concrete scanning and GPR provider has evolved into a comprehensive subsurface engineering firm delivering locate, verify, expose, and execute services under one coordinated operational framework.

Safe2core integrates hydro excavation, SUE Level A utility verification, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), CCTV pipeline inspection, and precision concrete cutting to reduce project risk before destructive work begins—particularly in utility-dense and high-consequence environments.

"As infrastructure becomes more complex, accuracy is no longer optional," said Antonio Guzman, Founder of Safe2core Inc. "Our role is to give project teams verified subsurface intelligence so they can dig, cut, and core without damaging critical underground assets."

Core Subsurface Services Provided by Safe2core

Safe2core delivers a fully integrated subsurface service stack, including:

Hydro Excavation & Utility Potholing
Non-destructive utility exposure using pressurized water and vacuum excavation to safely daylight gas, electric, fiber, water, and sewer lines.

Utility Locating & Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
Accurate public and private utility locating using electromagnetic methods and Ground Penetrating Radar to map underground utilities prior to excavation, cutting, or construction. This service is foundational to risk mitigation and project planning.

SUE Level A Utility Verification
Physical exposure and centimeter accuracy verification of underground utilities in accordance with ASCE standards for design validation and conflict resolution.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) & Concrete Scanning
High-resolution imaging to locate rebar, post-tension cables, conduits, and embedded hazards prior to cutting, drilling, or demolition.

CCTV Sewer & Pipeline Inspection
Robotic camera inspection of underground pipelines to assess alignment, integrity, and defects.

Concrete Cutting & Core Drilling
Precision execution performed only after verified scanning to protect structural integrity and embedded systems.
