Cover And Compliance
Digging Company in Mackay with Insurance
Small digging jobs cause a surprising share of service strikes, mostly because people assume a shallow hole is a safe hole. Water, gas, electrical and communications services are frequently much shallower than expected, particularly in older suburbs and where landscaping has been added over the top. We hold public liability insurance and can provide a certificate of currency before starting, so the cover is documented rather than assumed.
The insurance sits behind a process designed to make claims unnecessary. Every site gets a Before You Dig Australia enquiry, the plans are checked against what is visible on the ground, and anything the machine might reach is confirmed by hand before we dig. On a fence line with a service running along it, that means potholing to establish exactly where it sits rather than trusting a measurement off a drawing.
If you need certificates or documentation for a builder, insurer or body corporate before we attend, just tell us what they need and we will send it through in advance.
Safe Practice
Safe Digging Process for All Types of Projects
Our process is the same whether it is one post hole or fifty. First, we lodge a Before You Dig Australia enquiry and review what the asset owners return for the site. Second, we walk the ground and match the plans against what is actually visible, including meters, pits, inspection openings and the obvious signs of previous trenching. Plans are a guide, not a guarantee, and services get moved and re-laid without records being updated.
Third, anything within reach of the dig is exposed by hand or potholed to confirm its real position and depth. Fourth, we keep outside the no-go zones set by the asset owners, hand-dig where required and use a spotter when a machine is working close to a located service. Fifth, depth is treated as a hazard in its own right, so anything deep enough to enter is battered or supported rather than left as an open vertical face.
Finally, holes are covered or barricaded if they are left open, spoil is kept clear of the edge, and the ground is reinstated when the work is done. None of it is complicated. It just has to actually happen on every job rather than only on the ones that look risky.
