Who we are
A Union of Utility Locators, Damage Prevention Specialists, and Subsurface Utility Engineers
What we do
This is a community for utility locators or construction workers who are looking to learn more about utility locating. This includes those working for 811 (and other national locate services in other countries), private locators, contract locators and all other locating people.
As utility locators we work to prevent damages to underground infrastructure. Saving lives, keeping others and ourselves safe, and doing our job to the best of our ability is the goal.
Non-Locator Questions

- White: Proposed Excavation

- Yellow: Gas, Oil, Steam, Petroleum or Gaseous Materials
- Orange: Communication, Alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit
- Blue: Potable water

- Green: Sewers and drain lines
Who do I call to get something located before I dig?
- In the US you will call 811 or search 811 and your state to find their website.
- Other countries may use other options
I'm a Contractor/Construction Worker, how do I know what these lines are?
- Your locator probably uses paint and/or flags per most state guidelines. If flags are present, they may have the name of the utility on them. Also check the marks for the utility name written somewhere along the marks.
