PLAN SAFELY

Before you dig checklist

A simple checklist for projects large and small.

Plan your request

Provide complete project details and the precise area where excavation will occur.

Allow the required time

Alaska 811 describes a standard two-full-working-day locate response period, with up to ten full working days for qualifying remote locations. Verify the official requirements.

Wait for confirmation

An online application is not a completed locate ticket. Check your email for confirmation and the indicated work start date.

Check for non-member utilities

Not every underground facility owner participates. Contact non-member owners directly where relevant.
