Audit & Investigation

Field audits and quality review

Audits compare what was marked with what is in the ground and what was recorded. Findings are documented with photos and field notes, so issues can be traced to a cause rather than argued about.

• Field audits of completed locates
• Locate-quality review against applicable standards and owner requirements
• Documentation review of locate sheets, sketches and records
• Trend reporting across programs and locators

Damage-prevention investigation support

When a facility is struck or a near miss is reported, a clear account of what was on site matters. We support client investigations by documenting site conditions, markings and relevant records, and by providing a factual field account.

Where the original locate was captured digitally, its recorded positions give a fixed reference to compare with what is on the ground, even after the marks themselves have faded or been disturbed. Audit findings can be captured the same way.
