Prior to digging or excavating, the first thing you should consider is what is buried under the ground.

  • Water, Gas and Sewerage have been buried for a century, in the past 40 years many electrical and communications services have also been buried underground.
  • Historically, many accidents and disruptions have occurred from excavators unwittingly digging up underground assets – ruptured sewerage pipes, gas mains explosions and even deaths from contact with electricity cables.
  • Many incidents have left entire communities isolated from power, water or phone services for extended periods that could have been avoided with careful planning..
  • These buried services must be identified prior to civil works being carried out in their vicinity.
    ‘An Out of sight and out of mind attitude’ in these instances can be disastrous.

It is the responsibility of the customer to visually locate all located assets (cables) by hand digging (pot-holing) prior to commencing any mechanical excavation in the area to prove the exact location and depth of the asset.
(2) Spot on Group and its Plant Locators use  BYDA before you dig process to determine what assets may be buried in the area and to obtain the relevant plans. Spot On Group or its Plant Locators will not be held responsible for any asset that are not identified through  BYDA before you dig process and therefore their existence is not known of and or there are no plans available
