Before beginning any large project which requires digging in Georgia, remember to call Georgia 811, a division of the Utilities Protection Center, Inc.
Georgia Public Service Commission regulates these projects in the state, and works to minimize any destruction to public utilities. If you are planning on any digging in close proximity to homes, underground utilities or overhead high voltage power lines, you are required to call 811 to alert the utility providers of your project.
The utility providers will visit the project site to mark the utilities located within the dig site. This is to ensure that no damage is done to the conduits for these utilities.

Congratulations! This is the best thing, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this exciting information.

I also know that it is very important to call before you start digging anywhere on a new property. You never know what kind of pipelines are under the ground. I have recently began a demolition project in Calgary and I am trying to remember all of these precautions. http://www.a-1concrete.com/commercial.html
ReplyDeleteI agree. If your doing big time digging you have to call in first. It seems like the smart thing to do. I know that my neighbor decided to build a giant shed, but didn't clear it with the city. They had to take it down, because it was too close to the property line. http://www.priestly.ca/demolition.aspx
ReplyDeleteI want to move a bedroom on the end of my home and put it on the back side of the house. It would be easy if I could just slice my house right through the seam and then paste it out back. If I am doing a simple remove and reconnect of a portion of my house, do I need a demolition company's help?
