UTILITY COORDINATION & CONFLICT RESOLUTION

Zolacon provides specialized utility coordination services to support infrastructure and development projects through the identification, analysis, and resolution of utility conflicts across planning, design, and construction phases.

We work closely with engineering teams, contractors, utility owners, and agencies to ensure that existing and proposed utilities are accurately identified, properly coordinated, and aligned with project requirements—reducing risk, preventing delays, and enabling efficient project delivery.

Our approach combines technical analysis with proactive coordination, allowing teams to address conflicts early, streamline relocations, and maintain alignment across all stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

Utility Identification & Data Analysis

• Utility records research and verification

• Coordination with survey teams and SUE (Subsurface Utility Engineering) providers

• Identification of existing overhead and underground utilities

• Utility mapping review and data validation

• Existing conditions analysis for design integration

Utility Conflict Resolution

• Identification of utility conflicts during design and construction

• Clash detection between proposed infrastructure and existing utilities

• Risk analysis and prioritization of conflicts

• Development of resolution strategies in coordination with stakeholders

• Ongoing coordination to ensure conflicts are resolved prior to construction

Utility Relocation Coordination

• Planning and coordination of utility relocations (overhead and underground)

• Development of relocation sequencing aligned with construction schedules

• Coordination with utility companies, contractors, and agencies

• Tracking of relocation progress and milestone alignment

• Support for decision-making during relocation execution

Permitting & Regulatory Coordination

• Preparation and coordination of utility relocation exhibits and documentation

• Alignment with DOT, municipal, and utility owner requirements

• Permit tracking and approval coordination

• Support for multi-agency review processes

• Identification and mitigation of permitting risks

Technical Documentation & Compliance Support

• Review and coordination of utility design documentation

• Validation of clearances and spatial requirements (as applicable to project type)

• Support for compliance with applicable codes and standards (e.g., NESC, local agency requirements)

• Preparation of review-ready submittal packages

• Coordination between engineering teams and approving authorities

Construction & Field Coordination

• Field verification of utility locations and conditions

• Coordination between contractors and utility owners during construction

• Real-time issue identification and resolution
