When requesting public locates, be aware that privately owned utilities account for more than 50 percent of the utilities on most commercial and residential properties; these private utilities are not field marked by the public locating services. In the United States there is a utility strike every 1-2 minutes caused when underground utilities are not marked before digging, that’s why it is important to call 811 and a private underground utility locating service provider before performing subsurface work. Communication is vital between our technicians and clients on projects (big or small) and plays an essential role in Damage Prevention. CNI Locates has maintained a 99.99% success rate performing accurate locates without causing any subsurface damages. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for scheduling and rate information.
