Abstract: This paper does not represent the official position of the A.G.A. Managing Committee. You may wonder how locations of utilities have been, and are, decided and why some super agency doesnt standardize them. When a big city intersection is exposed, it appears from the maze of manholes, ducts, and pipelines that it grew like Topsy and should, somehow, be straightened out or at least be prevented in new, undeveloped areas. It would be better if all intersections had a well-planned, standardized took. Organizations such as the American Society of Civil Engineers have been working on such ideas dating back to the 1930s. The American Society of Civil Engineers adopted on July 18, 1937, a Manual of Engineering Practice No. 14 - subject: Location of Underground Utilities. The oldest bibliography listed in the manual dales back to August 26, 1916, so standardization of utility locations is not new.
