What makes an underground job safe
Safety on an underground job comes from a handful of habits applied every time, whatever the size of the work.
Know what is buried
The one-call locate is requested before digging, the marks are reviewed with the owner's records, and lines close to the work are exposed with hydro excavation rather than found with a bucket.
Protect the excavation
Trench walls are supported or sloped as the depth and the ground require, spoil is kept back from the edge, and open excavations are guarded when work stops.
Control the site
Traffic and pedestrians are kept away from equipment and open ground, with signs and barriers as the right-of-way owner requires.
Isolate the line
Water lines are shut off and drained before they are cut; sewer flows are managed; the electric utility deals with its own equipment.
None of this is unusual. It is simply the way underground work should be done on a home's water service, a business's storm line or a public main.
In Margate, we work for homeowners, businesses and public owners.
