Q - Do I need BYDA ( Before You Dig Australia ) Plans?
A - Yes. To provide the “full” picture of underground services and give the best possible Locations, we ask for current BYDA plans. They are also part of our Workplace Health and Safety policies, Insurance and Legal requirements.
Q - I am on private property & the plans don’t show any services. Why do I need a Location?
A - Asset Utility owners only show their own cables and pipes (which sometimes are in private property), BUT, they wont show private consumer services, eg: Electrical, Telstra, Gas, Water, Sewer, and minor services, which would normally require Locating to avoid excavation damage.
Q - Can we locate “Everything” all the time?
A - Nobody has “X-Ray Vision”, YET!, and nobody can give 100% guarantee that they can locate every single “unknown service”. Many sites have old and abandoned lines, cables, and pipes underground that nobody knows about and may never be uncovered until excavation occurs. Locating is subject to many variables across all types of sites: soil conditions, influence of other services etc.
We do guarantee to use all our experience and the latest equipment to provide the very best Locating Service Available.
