Did you know that underground utility asset owners record more unnecessary damages to their systems during the months following Safe Digging Month? Here is a reminder that carrying out safe digging practices is a year round responsibility for all. Do you follow safe excavation practices at your workplace? You do if you always contact BC 1 Call before you dig, and then always follow buried infrastructure maps and safe digging instructions provided by BC 1 Call’s members. Be sure to expose the underground lines and pipes to find the exact location before using power tools. BC 1 Call BC Common Ground Alliance #DigSafe #ClickOrCallBeforeYouDig

With winter just around the corner, have you started thinking about how to ensure your oil & gas operations are prepared for the drop in temperature? ❄️ Winterizing your equipment and infrastructure isn’t just a smart move, it’s crucial if you want to maintain efficiency. Remember some of the following tasks when getting your facilities ready for the winter season: 1. Inspect & Insulate Equipment – Make sure any pipelines, valves, and other critical infrastructures are insulated to prevent freezing. 2. Winterize Your Fleet – Install proper tires, antifreeze, and check engine heaters on your equipment to maintain reliability, even during sub-zero temperatures. 3. Plan for Icy Terrain – Ensure materials can still be moved despite icy roads. Don’t get caught unprepared for the winter! #RichmondSteel #Demolition #DemolitionServices #OilandGas #ColdWeatherPreparedness #Winter Ready #Winterization #Resources

Sometimes it can be hard to visualize what's going on beneath the surface, so hopefully this image can give you an example. The multicolored lines in this image show the sheer number of underground utilities buried within a single block of a midwestern suburb. In this location there is one storm drain and FOUR refined petroleum product pipelines, not to mention a railroad with two sets of tracks and an overpass. In this particular instance a client wanted me to put together a preliminary design and quote for a potential pipeline relocation, and to say that such a project would be complicated is an understatement ... This is exactly why it's critical to place your #811 tickets and do your due diligence to work safely in close proximity to underground utilities located within your project area. A single misstep or shortcut could lead to disaster, not just for the contractors working onsite but for the passersby and general public who are just going about their day. Remember to Call Before You Dig and stay safe out there!
