Locates Take Too Long !

December 7, 2016 by Kodiak Drilling

Report on 1Call Problems

The time it is taking to get locates through the 1Call system is just way too long.  This problem is not only causing enormous frustration for consultants and drillers in the site investigation sector, but the construction industry too is also facing issues with this problem.  The RCCAO (Residential and Civil Construction Alliance of Ontario has commissioned a report “Improving Ontario’s One Call System: How to achieve more timely utility locates by applying enforcement practices used in other jurisdictions”.  You can look at the report by clicking RCCAO Report.  One of the more interesting quotes from the report is

More than 1,000 complaints have been filed with Ontario One Call since mid-2014 about late or misleading locates, but there have been no convictions or charges against any person for violation of the One Call Act. The enforcement director for Ontario One Call has a long backlog estimated to be several hundred complaints from excavators that have not yet been investigated and the backlog, according to several excavators, continues to grow.
