Underground Utility Damage Prevention
An underground utility strike can have catastrophic consequences—affecting thousands of people and resulting in millions of dollars in damage. A single incident can lead to serious injury or loss of life, property damage, work stoppages, community disruption, environmental harm, and significant insurance liability.
While damage to telecommunications infrastructure may not pose the same immediate physical danger, it can still be costly and highly disruptive. Service interruptions can impact traffic control systems, health services, businesses, and emergency response operations. Minimizing underground utility strikes—and their consequences—is critical to keeping communities safe and connected.
