Accidentally damaging an underground cable can be a major setback during construction.
Many people don’t realize it, but beneath the ground in many areas there are cables used for a variety of purposes, such as fibreoptic cables used in communication across long distances. These cables have been buried under the ground to help extend their lifespan, as overhead cables are more likely to get damaged by the weather and other outside factors. However, this convenience for the cables can be an inconvenience for anyone doing construction work nearby. Accidentally digging into and damaging an underground cable can cost you time and money paying for a cable repair service, which is why you’ll need an underground cable locator to make you aware of any underground cables at your construction site.
When you work with an underground cable locator before digging at your Armstrong, British Columbia construction site, you don’t have to worry about accidentally coming across a cable that you weren’t aware of. The presence of these cables influences where you’re able to build a structure, so it’s best to hire utility locating services early on in the planning part of your construction process.
