Dig Alert

Construction excavation work is the leading cause of damage to oil and gas pipelines, which can lead to significant monetary exposure for pipeline operators, contractors, and the contractor’s clients. Many states have passed Dig Alert statutory schemes to help prevent damage to pipeline infrastructure from construction activity, but many construction contractors and pipeline operators do not know what their obligations are, and what liability they face, when a party seeks to excavate near a pipeline. Failure to comply with Dig Alert statutory requirements not only leads to more accidents, but significant penalties, and often liability for environmental contamination caused by released product.
