Page Tucker and I talk about underground utilities. **Did You Know?** 🚧 Every year, between 400,000 and 500,000 utility strikes occur in the U.S., disrupting services and posing serious safety risks. Here's a startling fact: 60% of these incidents are caused by professional excavators who didn't contact the 811 call-before-you-dig service. Carter Hobbs what do you think? 🛑 **Why is this happening?** 🛑 - **Lack of Notification**: Failing to notify the right services before digging remains a significant issue. - **Inaccurate Markings**: Sometimes, utilities are not marked or are marked incorrectly, leading to dangerous mistakes. 🌐 **The Power of Prevention** 🌐 - **Educate and Engage**: It's crucial to promote consistent and efficient use of safety practices, like calling 811. - **Invest in Technology**: Advanced technologies like GIS can pinpoint utilities with incredible accuracy, reducing the risk of strikes dramatically. 🤝 **Let's Work Together** 🤝 Full episode https://lnkd.in/d5z5qhT9 🔗 Learn more about how you can contribute to safer excavation practices at www.prostarcorp.com ProStar - developers of PointMan #UtilitySafety #CallBeforeYouDig #GIS #InfrastructureSafety #SafeExcavation #PublicSafety #fixinfrastructure

💡 Tech Tip Tuesday: What Utility Detection Do For Your Business It is vital to know what lies underground but also of the consequences of not knowing what is beneath your excavator bucket. A utility strike is not only costly in terms of damaged equipment, damaged utilities and service interruption but it can also damage lives and potentially end them. Using our latest detection systems, localising underground assets becomes a simple and efficient task. In addition, the data can be used for setting up 3D avoidance zones. The underground avoidance system enables control and safe excavation around services for power, gas, water and other potentially hazardous products buried beneath the surface.

You never really know what is underground until you dig it up! This is a prime example of why the buffer zone for utility locating is there. The utility is at least 4" away from the tracer wire. In case you didn't know, The buffer zone is 18" On both sides of the mark including the width of the pipe. If possible, always expose the utility on your job site. The utility locator may get a good signal where the tracer wire is, but there does not mean that the utility will be right on top of the tracer wire. Be safe, Call 811, and don't forget your private locators either. #Saftey #Utilities #UtilityStrikes #EightOneOne #BuriedUtilities #CallBeforeYouDig #KnowWhatsBelow

It's a crowded underground utility jungle out there! Having a spotter working in close communication with the machine operator is a time-tested best practice that helps prevent damage to buried utilities. #ClickBeforeYouDig #locatingandmarking #buriedutilities #publicsafety

The length of time it takes to rebuild after a fire can greatly vary depending on the level of damage, the type of structure affected, how many contents are in the space, and other factors. When you contact SERVPRO, technicians will assess and inspect your property, then determine a timeline of how long they expect the remediation and rebuild process to take.
