MOST UNDERGROUND UTILITY DAMAGE DURING CONSTRUCTION is attributable to incomplete, inaccurate and out-of-date records and network documentation. This is the result of an inefficient, error-prone, and paper-based information flow from engineering through construction crews resulting in “as-builts” of uncertain quality, which eventually form the utility’s repository of record, typically in a GIS. Several jurisdictions have …
