On any excavation project, time is of the essence, but
excavating without proper markings or placement of facilities can endanger
work crews, lead to possible loss of service, as well as close a job-site
down permanently.
Several Illinois utility companies have developed Damage
Prevention Teams to assist excavators with problems that may arise regarding
their digging project. If this should occur after the contractor has
followed all the proper procedures and made the initial call to JULIE, they
can contact the Damage Prevention Teams for the utility companies listed
with specific questions regarding that buried facility.
