Before excavation work is carried out, the principal contractor for the construction work must:

1. Find out what records for underground services exist (Dial Before U Dig)
2. Contact a reputable Pipe and Cable Locator
3. Pothole the located services (Expose and Protect)
4. Proceed with the job.

Site preparation is a small part of the job but is the most essential. All to often underground utility services, pipes and cables, exist where they should not. Proper precautions must be taken before excavating or digging sites to prevent costly legal and insurance actions against your business, which could have been avoided at the beginning of the project.
