Don't take any chances when it comes to the safety of your property and the people working on your project. Underground utilities can be difficult to detect, and hitting one can cause extensive damage, not to mention serious safety hazards.
Underground Utility Locating: How Locate Services Can Help Keep Your Critical Infrastructure Safe
When it comes to construction and infrastructure projects, ensuring the safety of workers and the surrounding environment is of utmost importance. However, underground utilities such as power cables, water pipes, gas pipes, and fibre cables can pose a serious risk if not properly located before construction begins.
Why Underground Utility Locating is Critical
Underground utilities are critical infrastructure that can be difficult to locate and map out. If construction workers accidentally hit one of these utilities, it can result in costly repairs, project delays, damage to the environment and even serious injury or death. This is why it is critical to locate and mark out all underground utilities before any excavation or construction begins.
