Prior to digging or excavating, the first thing you should consider is what is buried under the ground.
Water, Gas and Sewerage has often been buried for a century, in the past 40 years many electrical and communications services are now also buried underground.
Historically, many accidents and disruptions have occurred from excavators unwittingly digging up underground assets – rupturing sewerage pipes, gas mains explosions and even deaths from contact with electricity cables. Some incidents have left entire communities isolated from power, water or phone services.
These buried services need to be identified when civil works are being carried out in their vicinity.
