Cross Bore Prevention Program
A cross bore is the intersection of two or more underground utility lines. A cross bore can happen between any utility, for example, electric, communications, sewer, or gas.
Gas and sewer cross bores represent a significant and costly risk to property and people. An effective cross bore prevention program is the most effective way to mitigate these risks.
Effective prevention programs include pre-construction and post-construction video inspections for both new utility installations and replacement of existing utilities. A video inspection of the lines provides a detailed view of the pipe's interior, identifying new and legacy cross bores.
As part of our comprehensive program, we provide our customers with PACP compliant videos, pipeline assessment reports, Utility PM reports, and site maps, both pre and post construction.
Our comprehensive Cross Bore Prevention Program helps our customers mitigate the risks associated with undetected cross bores.
