Accurate subsurface locating and underground mapping provides direction for excavation, preventing damage to existing utilities
U.S. law requires 811 to be called before any type of excavation takes place. The call is routed to a state representative who determines the location of the project. Following this, utility company agents arrive at the site to mark the location of their buried utilities to prevent them from being damaged during the ensuing excavation.
National Underground Group’s 811 locate service identifies the precise location of underground utilities. This includes gas, water, sewer, electric and fiber optic lines for municipalities and utility owners and their engineers. In addition, we offer our utility locating services to homeowners and contractors.
Our 811 locating services include accurately locating underground utilities, pinpointing the horizontal position of each utility. This is accomplished through a variety of methods:
- Detailed research of available records, plans and maps
- Thorough electronic searches for buried facilities within purposed work site
- Accurate marking of Benchmark’s contracted utility owne
