When embarking on any digging or construction project, knowing the full layout of underground utilities is crucial. The traditional call-before-you-dig service, 811, is a great starting point but has its limitations. Let’s explore how private utility locating services extend beyond the reach of 811.
Scope of Services
- 811 Services: This free service focuses primarily on identifying public utility lines. It covers essential utilities like gas, electric, water, and sewer lines up to the utility meter, helping prevent accidental damage during excavation.
- Private Utility Locating Services: These specialized services go beyond the public-rights-of-way, identifying utility lines on private property. This includes locating additional lines that might not be covered by 811, such as irrigation, outdoor lighting, and privately owned data cables.
Detailed Surveying
Private utility locating companies utilize advanced technology and techniques to conduct a thorough survey of your entire property. They pinpoint utilities that are critical but not typically marked by 811, providing a complete underground map for safety and project planning.
Risk Mitigation
By including a private utility locating service, you’re reducing the risk of costly repairs and dangerous accidents. While 811 mitigates the risk to public utilities, private services ensure that every potential hazard is addressed, keeping both your project and your property safe.
