Tackling the first danger faced on every construction:
breaking ground - how to dig safely
Utility strikes occur when a utility asset is damaged as a result of construction work taking place. For example, a excavator damaging an electrical cable leading to sudden violent explosion and loss of power to end user.
Scannetix is on a mission to make excavation safer for all in the construction industry. Every year in the UK alone, 60,000 utility strikes occur. This equates to 164 strikes per day. These accidents pose significant risks to businesses, personnel and the community.
By reducing these accidents, construction sites become safer and more efficient, increasing infrastructure security, protecting vital services, such as traffic lights, hospitals power and CCTV networks. Businesses avoid forced closure, increasing revenue, otherwise uncompensated. Increased footfall within community benefits regional economy. Reduction in roadworks results in fewer traffic delays, decreased noise pollution, increased aesthetics and functionality. An increased quality-of-life benefiting all.
For utility companies and contractors, who want to reduce the risk of costly, dangerous utility accidents, B-UDS by Scannetix, is the only device that provides all-round protection for detecting and avoiding underground assets
