Call Before You Dig! 📞🚧

Today was a great reminder of why utility locates are so important. While excavating, we uncovered a congested group of buried utilities directly within our work area.

Because the proper locates and planning were completed before digging, we were prepared and able to work safely around them. A simple call before you dig can prevent utility damage, costly delays, and serious safety incidents.

Know what’s below. Dig safe.
