LINE ALERT™ Panel
The LINE ALERT
panel effectively acts as a guidance system that takes you safely
near your underground utility. The LINE ALERT panel uses highly
visible green indicators when within 36-24 inches, yellow when
within 24-12 inches and red when within 12 inches of
the buried
object.
- The LINE ALERT panel is a patented product and process created over many years of tests and trials.
- Using the LINE ALERT panel does not
significantly alter or change the typical processes used by the
excavation
industry today when dealing with line crossings.
- The LINE ALERT panel is designed to
stay where it’s buried ensuring accurate digs.
- The LINE ALERT panel is engineered
from materials that sheer off cleanly as each deck is removed.
- The LINE ALERT panel is
appropriate for various soil types and conditions and can be left
buried for up to 90 days.
- The LINE ALERT
panel virtually eliminates probing.
How the LINE ALERT Panel is used:
- Planners contact government or utility
call centers to determine the existence and location of
underground lines.
- Once the location is
determined by
locating personnel, the line is daylighted or potholed using a Hydrovac.
Once the line is daylighted or potholed the LINE ALERT panel is
placed on top of the line.
- The hole is then filled, and a high
visibility ribbon attached to the LINE ALERT panel and a
wooden
stake mark the location.
- Excavation equipment arrives and
begins digging toward the underground line using the LINE ALERT
ribbon as its initial guide.
- When the LINE ALERT panel is initially
struck and seen in the ground, a depth measurement can be taken.
- Depending upon the excavation
instructions, the excavator may stop or continue to dig assessing
ongoing depth from the LINE ALERT panel.
- The excavator
will stop digging in accordance with the excavation instructions. KeiBerg
Inc, because of its focus on safety,
strongly recommends that excavator
digging stop before
the red section of the LINE ALERT
panel is contacted. No warranty is provided for any LINE ALERT
panel whose red section has been contacted by excavation
equipment.
- The
underground line is then exposed through hand digging.
