Dial Before You Dig is an organisation that provides information to property owners and contractors for undertaking construction works that could potentially effect the underground assets (for instance, telecommunication cables, electricity transmission cables) and services.
Being a registered asset owner with Dial Before You Dig, TransGrid has supplied its underground cable routes as GPS data / UBD map reference numbers.
Anyone intending to undertake underground construction work should contact Dial Before You Dig and provide them with the location of work, type of construction activity (e.g. mechanical excavation, boring, drilling and landscaping), their contract details and a UBD map reference. Dial Before You Dig will distribute the enquiries to the relevant asset owners.
Where the construction work is related to TransGrid's underground cables, TransGrid will respond to these enquiries within two (2) working days following the receipt of this information.
Where required, TransGrid can provide a site representative at no cost to advise on the most appropriate work methods when working near TransGrid cables.
