Looks like he got lucky, fellow next country over hit a high pressure gas line. Burned over 50% of his body, and his dozer was fried. Hell gess you have to call Mrs Dig everywhere..
Call before you dig! John had a tractor post hole auger. Instead of spending a half hour digging by hand, we fucked around for 2 hours getting it working on the tractor. "Just One More Ream" & we hit the 3 inch water line I knew was around there. Then spent 3 hours fixing the water line. Jerry
Even in this hick state they put up warnings for natural gas lines, hundred yards or so, even out in the woods. I wouldn't have expected on to be where he is putting in posts. Daryl
Correct W.C., if 811 is 12" off the locate, they get to pay. I had a contractor trench through a 200 pair copper cable & a 24 Strand Single Mode Fiber Optic cable AFTER I told him where is was! $25,000.00 dollars later maybe he listen to me next time?
Call Before You Dig But Dig B4 2 Weeks Is Up! I heard of a contractor who called USA but then waited 3 weeks to dig. Hit an unmarked line. Took USA to court but was found liable.

811 my man.
ReplyDeleteProblem with 811 is they are wrong about a quarter of the time.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but you're not on the hook for damages then.
