IUPPS strives to find efficient ways to bridge the gap between the Professional Excavators, Utilility Locaters and Utility Companies themselves.

Safe Digging is a shared responsibility between all aspects of the process. Here are some tools that we feel will help the Professional Excavator to better understand the process, and how communications between the Utility, the Call Before You Dig Center (IUPPS) and yourself can prevent costly delays and damages!

IUPPS is committed to the continued efforts of damage prevention within the excavation community and regularly conducts safety meetings for the excavator community. Please go to our Upcoming Events section for a listing of safety meetings, and to request a meeting for your company.
