Underground Installation
The practice of safe digging techniques is of paramount importance, as it not only has the potential to cause disruptions in communication but also poses a significant threat to life and property by damaging high voltage cables or gas lines. Therefore, it is imperative to engage with services that maintain databases of the location of underground services before any excavation work commences. ROWGrid locates these locations during the design phase and double-check the data by submitting for permits before contractors initiate any digging activities to ensure the latest and most accurate information is available, thereby minimizing the potential for any untoward incidents that may arise due to the lack of proper planning and preparation. By adhering to these best practices, one can ensure the safety of all involved and prevent any unnecessary damage to critical infrastructure.
ROWGrid is a company that is deeply committed to providing underground construction design services that prioritize safety and reliability above all else. We firmly believe that the practice of calling 811 before any digging, trenching, or boring takes place is an essential step in the safety of all individuals involved in these projects. That's why we begin all underground designs with an 811 ticket. This allows us to receive current information as to which utility facilities are the proposed routes. Our of experts takes great care to include existing utilities in all of our designs, and we are dedicated to providing our clients with the highest level of and quality.
When it comes to the installation of underground cables, it is customary to use a conduit that is buried at a depth of 3-4 feet to minimize the risk of inadvertent damage. This practice is particularly important in areas where excavation is common, such as construction sites or areas with high foot traffic, as it can help prevent damage to the cables and ensure their longevity. In colder climates, it may be necessary to bury the cables at greater depths to prevent frost penetration, which can cause damage to the cables and result in costly repairs. .
Additionally, directional boring may be employed to circumvent surface disruption, which can be particularly useful in areas where excavation is not feasible, such as under streets or sidewalks. It is crucial to bury a conductive marker tape above the conduit to facilitate future cable location and serve as a warning to anyone who may be digging in the vicinity, as this can help prevent accidental damage to the cables and ensure their continued functionality. By following these best practices, it is possible to ensure the safe and effective installation of underground cables, regardless of the environment or conditions in which they are installed.
