Expert Tips

Verify Underground Assets Before Breaking Ground

One of the most expensive mistakes on any project is assuming underground asset locations are correct without verification.

To improve locating accuracy:

► Confirm utility plans before tracing
► Verify signal strength during detection
► Conduct multiple locating passes
► Mark identified assets clearly
► Maintain equipment calibration
► Follow site safety procedures

For night works, roadside infrastructure projects & utility maintenance, Site Lighting & Electrical Supplies can help maintain visibility while tracing underground assets.

Accurate tracing improves safety, reduces risk & supports more efficient project delivery.
