Public Abstract
The investigation was conducted to determine the status of programs for prevention of damage to underground facilities of utilities, pipe-lines and other underground line systems. The study was centered on outside force/outside party damage during excavation near the underground facilities. Data concerning underground damage were analyzed; these datae were obtained from OPSO, utilities, other line operators, one-call systems, and State agencies. The data analysis shows that there are wide variations in the effectiveness of the damage prevention programs across the country. A number of conclusions and recommendations for improvement of underground damage prevention programs are recommended.
