This Standard provides a framework for the management of information and decision-making tools for projects that may impact subsurface utilities. It has been written primarily from an engineering perspective, and applies to all existing (including redundant) and under-construction subsurface utility infrastructure and associated surface features. This Standard does not apply to utility infrastructure that is above the surface, such as overhead power and telecommunication lines.
Scope
This Standard provides a framework for the management of information and decision-making tools for projects that may impact subsurface utilities. It has been written primarily from an engineering perspective, and applies to all existing (including redundant) and under-construction subsurface utility infrastructure and associated surface features. This Standard does not apply to utility infrastructure that is above the surface, such as overhead power and telecommunication lines.
As such, any reference within this standard to above ground utilities is in the context of spatial constraints of plant and machinery to the overhead utility while working on subsurface utilities.
NOTE Although this Standard does not apply to above-surface utilities, the same principles of conflict identification might well be applied to these aerial assets, as their replacement can involve sub-surface activities and solutions.
