for Excavators
The use of white marking products (i.e.
paint, flags, stakes, whiskers or a combination of these) may be used to
identify the excavation site by excavators. Black paint may be used when
snow is on the ground.
All pre-marks should be placed prior to contacting JULIE.Pre-marks clarify (narrow) the scope of the request but can never expand the scope.Width of each mark should be approximately 2".Length of each mark should be approximately 6" to 12".Distance between marks depends on site conditions, but no greater than 20'.Company identification painted at reasonable intervals to allow quick identification.Default radius of stake is 10', default path width is 20'.Pre-marks that box in the excavation are limited to that box (unless specified otherwise on that request).

MARKING SAMPLES |

SINGLE STAKE PRE-MARKINGS CENTER POINT OF EXCAVATION SITE |
|
When
an excavation site is contained within a 50’ radius or less, it can
be delineated with a single stake that is positioned at the proposed
center of the excavation. If the excavator chooses this type of
delineation, they must convey that they have delineated the
excavation site with a single stake at the center of the excavation
and include the radius of the site in the notification to JULIE.
This single stake is to be white in color with the following
information: excavator’s company identifier (name, abbreviations, or
initials) and the radius of the excavation site in black letters on
the stake or with a notice attached to the stake. |

TRENCHING, BORING OR OTHER CONTINUOUS TYPE EXCAVATIONS |
|
Pre-mark in white paint the proposed
centerline of planned excavation using 6” to 12” x 2” arrows,
approximately 4’ to 20’ apart to show direction of excavation. The
maximum separation of excavation pre-marks would be determined by
site conditions but should never exceed 20’. Pre-mark lateral
excavations with occasional arrows showing excavation direction from
centerline with pre-marks at curb or property line if crossed. |

|
NON-LINEAR EXCAVATION PRE-MARKINGS |
|
Delineate in
white the proposed area of excavation through the use of: a
continuous line, dashes marking the four corners of the project or
dashes outlining the excavation project. In lieu of paint, stakes,
flags or whiskers, may be used. Limit the size of each dash to
approximately 6” to 12” in length and 2” in width with interval
spacing approximately 4’ to 20’ apart. The maximum separation of
excavation pre-marks is to be reduced to a length that can be
reasonably seen by the facility owner’s locators when the terrain or
excavation site conditions warrant it. Stakes, flags or whiskers are
white in color with the excavator’s company identifier (name,
abbreviations, or initials) provided on the stake, flag or whisker. |
