51²è¹Ý

Ground disturbances can potentially have major effects on operations and the safety of the campus.

Notifying 811 does not work for all utilities on campus. 51²è¹Ý owns most of the underground utilities and does not perform line locates in-house. Every excavation shall require a preliminary meeting with the 51²è¹Ý Facilities Management to determine historical knowledge of existing utilities. Unless a location has been deemed safe for disturbance, a third party may need to be hired for utilities locates.

Potholing or hand digging shall be required within three horizontal feet of located centerlines and in an area lacking knowledge.
