Call before you dig! *PICS*
There is a law in the USA (and Canada) requiring
that you call for underground utility locations before you do any excavation. The pictures below are a result of a farmer using a post hole digger without calling for "locates" and he hit an underground, high-pressure cross country gas pipe. Had to be one of those gas powered augers, either free-standing or on a tractor. Supposedly there was no trace of the farmer or his equipment... It also took out 2 homes... Take a look for yourself... http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-001.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-002.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-003.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-004.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-005.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-006.jpg http://www.gtcars.ca/images1/callb4u...ou-dig-007.jpg Thanks to GTcars for the pics |

There was a house in my town that blew up from someone pulling a 1 inch gas line off a 3 inch main and the gas followed the loose dirt and the gas seeped threw the cinder block foundation.
Udig failed to mark the T and the excavator didn't know what they were doing and just started yanking when they snagged the line. Only one person was killed. |
thats nutty, def gonna start calling before i dig now.... no sense dying
