When
your excavation work is new construction, according to the Illinois Underground
Utility Facilities Damage Prevention Act, all separate phases of the job need to
be called in a individual requests by the person actually doing the digging.
Identifying your type of work as "new building
construction" does not cover such things as sewer, water, gas or electric
installations. Please be sure that the contracting company responsible for
each phase of the construction initiates a separate locate request and specifies
the type of work being done.
Lot Identification
When an address is not posted or when excavation is taking place on property
without a building, it is important to make the site identifiable for the
locators by posting the lot number.
