ELITE PROTECTION WITH UTILITY MARKERS
Elite Precast is answering the need for service protection locators.
A spokesperson commented:
“With fencing contractors’ needing to complete a risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) report to address the risk of buried utilities, the need to mark these areas is obvious and should be part of the safe system of working for every job and implemented before starting a project.
“Keeping this in mind, we introduced precast concrete cable protection covers, indicator posts and marker blocks to make locating subterranean utilities and infrastructure simpler and reduce the risk of service strikes, which can be both dangerous and costly.
“These visual locators make life easier for all involved, including land and asset owners (gas, water, electricity, telecoms etc.) as well as local users, such as residents, farmers or commercial premise tenants and mitigates the risk of costly time delays and damage to the surrounding area.
“If you know these cables and pipelines are already buried on your land and you want to add service protection markers, a CAT scan (cable avoidance tool scan) can be used over the area, to locate these and markers added afterwards.
“As well as protecting installed utility products, our heavyweight concrete blocks can be used to secured field and land boundaries reducing the risk of unwanted visitors, making it easier for you to secure your site with the added stability the concrete blocks bring.”
