The Importance of Accurate Utility Locating in Wollongong
Costly Damage
Unsafe Conditions
The safety and security of workers should be the top priority on every project site. With inaccurate or incomplete locating of buried utilities, you’re putting not just your project, but the health and well-being of your team at risk. HSE concerns during a site excavation should be mitigated and planned for by commissioning accurate utility locating maps.
Project Delays and Fines
Each day of delay on a project costs you money – not to mention the potential fines for interfering with utility lines. Avoid costly interruptions with proper underground utility and site mapping, and ensure your project runs smoothly from start to finish.
