Re: Just when crabbing was peaking
A lot of times a one-call markout will be performed based off drawings, not actually locating the line. Sometimes the drawings are several feet off. Even ground-penetrating radar isn't 100 percent, as the range can be limited based on soil type, and non-metal lines don't show up as well. Not to be an apologist, but you can be as careful and thorough as possible and still hit something.
I've overseen hundreds of excavating and drilling jobs, and no matter how many paint marks are on the ground I still get a little nervous when we break ground. You never know what you'll find until you start digging.
