This year, the Technology and Gaps in Underground Safety report has a few changes. While last year we received many contributions through our web form, in 2019 we proactively reached out to several drivers and users of technology to provide insight through ground-breaking field case studies. We maintain a list of gaps in damage prevention that we feel technology may one day fill and a section identifying existing damage prevention technologies.
One of the most exciting additions this year is a section focusing on technological advancements that may one day address specific root causes of underground damages identified in the CGA DIRT reports. The committee feels that this may be key to our industry’s effectiveness in reducing damages.
