𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟯𝘁𝗵!

Fresh off the discussions at the Texas811 Summit, we’re diving into one of the most pressing issues in damage prevention: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺.

Authored by 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝗱𝗮𝗯𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵 and 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀, this addition to our Damage Prevention blog series takes a hard look at excavation without calling 811 and the real-world consequences that follow.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀:
Why “no call” digs still persist despite regulations
The gap between compliance requirements and field realities
How contractors truly experience the challenges around 811
Contractors are on the frontlines of this issue, and their perspective matters. If you’ve ever asked “why isn’t 811 always called before a dig?”, this piece connects the dots between policy, practice, and the tough realities in the field.
