🔍 A Critical First Step: Service Clearance Before Borehole Investigation 🔍

Before any borehole investigation begins, service clearance is a step that should never be overlooked. While it might seem like a routine part of the process, it’s actually a foundational safety measure with significant implications for project success.

Here’s why service clearance is critical:

1️⃣ Safety First: Subsurface utilities (gas, water, electric) pose serious risks. Hitting these services during drilling can lead to injuries, costly repairs, or worse. Service clearance helps us ensure a safe work environment for everyone on-site.

2️⃣ Cost Efficiency: Striking underground utilities can lead to unexpected project delays and budget overruns. By identifying and avoiding underground services, we can help your project stay on schedule protecting project budgets.

3️⃣ Environmental Protection: Avoiding utilities isn’t just about safety and costs; it’s also about protecting the environment. Damaging gas or sewage lines can lead to hazardous leaks with significant environmental consequences.

4️⃣ Data Accuracy: Comprehensive service clearance gives a clear picture of the underground layout. This information helps your team drill with precision and confidence meaning your site investigations are accurate and reliable from the start.

Service clearance should be a non-negotiable part of any project because it lays the groundwork for safe, efficient, and high-quality site investigations. Let’s always keep safety and diligence at the forefront, starting with this crucial first step! 🌍💼
