DIAL BEFORE YOU DIG

Dial Before You Dig is a free national community service designed to prevent damage and disruption to the vast pipe and cable networks which provides Australia with the essential services we use everyday – electricity, gas, communications and water.

Knowing ahead of time what utilities are under the ground is critical. We advise all of our clients to perform a DBYD inquiry before works commence, this allows ELS to ‘tick off’ all known assets in the area, thus decreasing the chance of hitting an asset.

ELS locators are DBYD certified, testing and certification is the most comprehensive Service Locator assessment available in Australia. You can be assured that when you choose ELS to locate your services, its done the correct way, every time.

DIAL BEFORE YOU DIG CERTIFIED

DBYD Certification offers certification for Service Locators working with DBYD asset owners and contractors. The Certification recognises Locators who have a high level of understanding and practical expertise.

In 2017, this was a huge undertaking by ELS. Having over 9 successful Service Locators pass their assessments, means ELS has more DBYD Certified Service Locators than anyone else in Victoria.

Telstra demand the best possible Verification of Competency for service locating, which is what DBYD can provide.

Coupled with a Telstra Acreddited Plant Locator ticket, which cannot be obtained without a DBYD certifictaion, it allows ELS to locate Telstra safely and efficiently.
