Start your project with a clearer picture of what is underground.
Before the first shovel hits the ground, you need to know what could be waiting below it. Underground utility lines can run through residential properties, construction sites, commercial developments, and other work areas – sometimes in places you may not expect. Choosing to locate before you dig gives you useful information about detectable buried utilities so you can plan your work with fewer surprises.
Why You Should Locate Before You Dig
Digging without knowing where underground utilities are located can create unnecessary problems for your project. Electrical lines, communication lines, gas and fuel lines, cables, metallic conduit, and other detectable utilities may be buried beneath the surface. Accidentally striking one can damage the utility, interrupt service, delay your work, and create serious safety concerns.
When you locate before you dig, you can make better decisions about where excavation should take place. Having the location of buried utilities identified ahead of time can also help you plan the work more efficiently and avoid unexpected costs associated with utility damage.
