- [Narrator] The safety of your crew
and the people above buried utilities
depend on horizontal drilling contractors
taking every possible measure
to avoid making a cross-bore.
Here are a few tips to help you do so.
The first step is to
carefully plan your bore.
You need to call for a utility locate
and follow up to verify that all locates
have been completed before
you start your work.
You should also walk the
drill path before it happens
and mark where intersections will occur
so you can pothole those locations.
Bore planning tools like Vermeer Projects
can help you effectively plan your bore
to avoid cross-bore risk.

how to avoid cross-bores
