Read Before You Dig: Working with utilities means being very careful – both on site and on paper

Utility conflicts and relocation issues are common to most road construction projects. In urban areas, work can present increased risks with respect to utilities, including their location, avoidance, relocation and repair. Prior to construction, owners often undertake a preliminary design review process that includes local utilities. The utilities are provided preliminary plans to determine potential utility conflicts. The goal is to relocate conflicting utilities prior to the start of construction. If conflicts result during construction, the costs associated with these conflicts can be significant, including delay claims and increased costs to re-route utilities and/or conflicting subsurface features, such as drainage lines.,Utility conflicts and relocation issues are common to most road construction projects.
