Technology Advancements & Gaps in Underground Safety
Technological breakthroughs consistently advance current damage prevention practices. Whether
it’s ticket management systems, locating equipment, excavating equipment or subsurface utility
engineering, technology is at the forefront of stakeholder efforts to reduce utility damages and near
misses.
CGA’s Technology Committee issues an annual report, “Technology Advancements and
Gaps in Underground Safety.” The report is developed as a resource to help the damage
prevention industry identify and understand the importance of technology used to prevent
damages, protect assets and increase overall safety. The report features existing damage
prevention technologies, gaps in damage prevention and industry case studies.
