The Causes of Underground Utility Damages in North Carolina in 2020

Web Exclusive / By

Third-party damages to the subsurface infrastructure seem to be a persistent issue that negatively influences the integrity of underground utilities and its vital services to citizens of North Carolina. North Carolina 811 (NC 811) has been conducting research studies to identify causes and remedies of third-party damages. The studies solicited stakeholders’ (i.e., excavators, locators, and …

Should Owners Sue Designers for Negligence if Utility Conflicts Severely Damage the Project?

Features / By

Utility conflicts represent a risk that should be addressed early during the design phase of the construction project life cycle. Addressing the risk of utility conflicts early, when designs are relatively simple to change, is easier and less expensive than making changes during the construction phase. Information about potential utility conflicts can be used to …

One Call for the Design & Construction Phases. The Importance of Coordination and Communication.

Features / By

DESIGNERS AND EXCAVATORS initiate the One Call process by placing a ticket through a One Call center. Most One Call centers include a special ticket to address projects that do not include excavation (i.e., a designer’s ticket). Because the planning and design phase precedes excavation activities, coordination of the utilities in a proposed project area …
