Main Objective

Virginia State Corporation Commission's primary objective under this grant will be to research and implement the incorporation of Global Positioning System (GPS) with underground utility locating equipment in conjunction with the Virginia Pilot Project for One Call Technology Phase II ("Project") or ("Phase II"). This would allow the collection of data relative to markings of underground facilities. This data will be used for:

  1. Accurately document marking of facilities (electronic manifest);
  2. Provide an accurate depiction of marks on notification center maps to excavators as a check against marks in the field;
  3. Document compliance by pipeline operators with state and federal laws regarding marking of facilities before excavation; and
  4. Provide location data to operators for verification of existing facility as-builts, maps and plans.
