Why Engage a Pipe Location Company?

 There are lots of cables, pipes and material pathways running under us, some of them run the length of the country, while others run deeper. These cables run for the supply of services and utility throughout the whole country. Therefore, they must remain safe underground.

When you want to install an underground utility or any job that involves opening up the soil like; a pool, electric lines, building structures, it is essential to confirm that no utilities are obstructing or running through that area. The best way to confirm is by contacting a utility location service.

Benefits of engaging a pipe location service

“Lives of workers should never be placed at risk from guesswork and preventable accidents.”

  •  Be your Brother’s keeper

If you accidentally hit a utility service while digging, not only do you incur losses from replacing the damaged utility, you also cause discomfort to your neighbours. Damaged electric lines, for example, will mean your neighbourhood will lose access to power supply for some periods; this will not make you especially popular among your neighbours.

  •  The use of modern and developed tools for efficient results

Pipe location companies make use of high tech and industrial machines to locate utilities buried underground. Most of them use Electromagnetic locators, Ground-penetrating radar units, and Survey grade instrumentation; these instruments can detect precise positions and material types of underground utilities, and are more efficient in detecting utilities.

  •  Saves you from incurring unwanted costs

When you dig ‘blindly’, there is every possibility that you will damage a buried utility that runs under (these days, they are everywhere). If you accidentally damage a buried utility, you will have no choice but to repair it; to avoid stiff penalties from the government or from the institution that owns it.

  •  Provides specific and accurate information for onsite workers

Pipe locating service not only tells you that there is a utility lying there, but it also tells you the type of product/material and what may be running in the pipes. This information is beneficial to the onsite engineers, as they can make informed decisions on the utility that should be placed compatibly in the same area.

  •  Pipe location services are very invaluable for future planning

You can create maps that will help for future references, in case an excavation work is to be carried out in the future. Information from the pipe location service will help you formulate a rough sketch of utilities that run underneath your property, worksite, and other locations to avoid accidents in the future.

Industries and government agencies can use this information in the future to develop maps on underground utilities.

  •  Safety measures while working

If workers continue to dig blindly at a spot, there is a high probability that accidentally they will hit a ‘not too friendly’ utility pipe; like gas pipes or chemical utility pipes. Accidents to workers will put a suspension or total abandon of your work, and lead to penalties from the authorities.


Conclusion

Before you start digging, contacting a pipe locating service should be your top option, do not rely on maps given by the agency alone. Some of these maps will not contain the latest utilities buried underground.

Also, you might think it is more expensive engaging a locating service, but you will save more in future costs that will arise from being ignorant of utility services underground.
