Utility Investigation - Damage Prevention
Underground and above‑ground utilities pose significant safety, schedule, and cost risks to infrastructure projects. To reduce these risks, T2 Utility Engineers (T2) applies professional engineering judgment, advanced geophysical and geospatial methods, and structured investigation processes to identify, characterize, and document utility infrastructure. We deliver ASCE 38‑22–compliant Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) and modified utility investigations tailored to project scope, risk, and budget—providing reliable data for confident design decisions and proactive utility risk management. In addition, we provide As-Built geospatial and attribute data to develop or improve digital datasets for new utility installations. We use ASCE 75, the national as-built Standard, as the foundation to collect and document utility infrastructure location in support of utility engineering. These services are central to utility infrastructure damage prevention.
Energy Engineering Development
Energy infrastructure requires rigorous engineering oversight to ensure safe, reliable, and compliant operation. Kiwa provides Energy Engineering Development services through Kiwa PPI, supporting the planning, design, construction, and operation of energy-sector assets.
Transportation Infrastructure Inspection, Risk and Quality
Transportation networks, such as highways, bridges, rail systems, airports and transit corridors, are the backbone of economic vitality, mobility, and public safety. Their performance and resilience depend on independent inspection, engineering expertise, utility risk management, and rigorous construction quality assurance. Kiwa delivers these capabilities through the combined strengths of Raba Kistner, Sequoia Consultants, and T2 Utility Engineers (T2) — three industry leaders whose integrated approach enhances safety, reduces risk, and elevates the quality and reliability of transportation infrastructure projects.
Manufacturing and Supplier Quality Assurance
Manufacturers depend on reliable suppliers and consistent internal processes to meet performance, customer, and regulatory expectations. Kiwa supports these needs through Kiwa PPI, Unitek, and NQA, helping organizations strengthen both internal quality systems and external supplier oversight.
Product verification and conformity tracking
Industrial assets such as pressure vessels, tanks, piping systems, and rotating equipment must operate safely and reliably under demanding conditions. Kiwa supports asset owners with product verification, conformity tracking, and inventory management services delivered by Kiwa PPI and Unitek.
Renewable Energy Testing and Validation
The growth of solar and renewable energy depends on trusted, independently validated performance data. Investors, developers, and asset owners must understand the durability, reliability, and long-term output expectations of solar technologies and infrastructure. Kiwa supports the renewable energy sector with rigorous testing, engineering assessments, and performance validation delivered by Kiwa PI Berlin and Kiwa PVEL.
Food Safety Certification & Auditing
Food businesses operate in one of the most highly regulated and closely monitored environments in the world. Ensuring safety, quality, and traceability across every step of production and distribution is essential—not only for regulatory compliance, but for protecting consumers and maintaining brand trust. Kiwa supports organizations across the food supply chain with accredited assessments, certification, and independent verification delivered by experienced food safety specialists.
