Locating Underground Services

South Australia

Are you required to locate underground services in a civil construction context?

RIICCM202E Identify, locate and protect underground services

Course Overview

Underground pipes and cables carry vital services such as water, electricity, communications and gas. It is essential to identify existing underground services prior to commencing a job to save time and ensure a safe work environment.

Identifying and locating underground services requires the work to be well planned and safely carried out according to site procedures and State or Territory legislative requirements, including obtaining necessary permits, approvals and Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) plans. For more information on BYDA visit www.byda.com.au

Safety is of prime concern to all working in identifying and locating underground services. Workers must at all times during operations be aware of their responsibilities for worker safety and to protect the environment.

On completion of the course you will be able to:

  • Prepare to identify, locate and protect underground services
