We often don’t realize what’s buried in the ground beneath our feet. When it comes to major construction, like building a Wind for Industry project, having this information is crucial but how do we make certain a dig site is free of obstruction?
That’s where something called “underground locates” comes in. Prior to beginning any digging activities, it’s important to identify any existing underground structures, which can include hazards such as electric lines, water lines, and even gas lines.
Learn about the process of locating structures buried underground in this month’s episode of Safety Minute. Brandon (One Energy’s Field Design Manager) will walk you through the steps involved in a safe digging operation, and showcase the equipment used to locate electric lines in-house.
