In addition to the overhead infrastructure that you can see above the ground, beneath our feet is a complex network of cables and pipelines. The location of these can often be uncertain and historical records of the infrastructure have not always been easy to find. Dangerous asset strike incidents, on varying scales, take place daily within the property industry. Whether it is striking underground high pressure fuel pipelines or cutting high voltage electric cables, not to mention gas, water, district heating and fibre optic networks, the implications of digging blind on site are wide ranging and life-threatening.

On this episode, Fisher German Talks Safe Digging and LSBUD.  LSBUD is a service which helps people get the safe digging plans to help them dig safely.

In today’s podcast, we’ll be exploring the LSBUD service and the importance of incorporating safe digging procedures across the industry.
