No matter the kind of job being undertaken, safety is the most important aspect of the process. Before, during, and after the job safety are key aspects of keeping the entire team and worksite in great working condition. Before work can begin, inspecting lines for potential risks can minimize injury or expensive damages. Cross boring projects can be the most dangerous, especially when human errors occur. Undertaking a visual inspection by a utility contractor can prevent these issues.
The Worst-Case Scenario of Risk
While there’s always a chance that there’s no trouble waiting below the surface, inspections are the only way to reduce that risk. A utility contractor inspection is designed to document every pipe and cable below the surface. It provides clear markings on the ground and keeps everyone safe. Even experienced technicians can miss a line and dig through something, and this can have any number of different results. In the best possible scenario, a small complication happens– a leak or a broken pipe that can be easily fixed. In the worst-case scenario, a spark can ignite and cause an explosion. Better safe than sorry.
Utility Contractor Inspections Save Lives
When you contract with Advanced Pipe Repair to schedule an inspection, we will take a close look at the safety of the area involved. A member of our experienced team will use a robotic camera to take a detailed look at what lies beneath the surface. Having a visual inspection means we can locate any visible or potential cross boring. Preventing a disaster is far better than having to correct a mistake.

Cross bores can pose a large risk, but they can also be easily avoided. While care in laying new cables and pipes is essential, it’s not foolproof. Human error can strike at any time. Utility contractor inspections can catch cross boring before it becomes a disaster.
