Re: Install Delays

All contractors must have utilities stats before digging anywhere... not all contractors get all stats but the usual suspects of gas/water/electric are mandatory. Telecoms has always been a moot point as there is no requirement to protect as such, if damage occurs then the offender is normally charged by company affected.


BT contractors will have stats, they will also use scanners to detect utilities before they dig as plans are not always accurate.
