DAMAGE PREVENTION

Ticket Risk Assessment couples real time, predictive analytics and targeted field services that are cost effective. We can identify over 50% of the future damage sites within a small percentage of the tickets. This enables us to respond proactively and coordinate damage prevention efforts at the right dig sites prior to and throughout the dig.

Predictive analytics determine the dig sites most likely to result in infrastructure damage. Invest additional field resources there beyond a standard locate to reduce excavation damages.

TICKET RISK ASSESSMENT

TWO PHASES OF TICKET RISK ASSESSMENT

PHASE 1: TRA DATA SERVICEWe assess the risk of damage for every 811 ticket received within seconds of receipt. We accomplish this through algorithms customized to consider ticket and historical damage information.

KEY POINT: Predictive analytics without excavator engagement is half of a solution. USIC’s TRA process is industry leading with regard to how many factors are considered, effectiveness in predicting damage sites and timeliness which is critical to mitigating risk pre-dig.

PHASE 2: IN THE FIELDEffective dig-site excavator engagement by a qualified team of damage prevention professionals prevents damages. This must be done at the right sites and at the right time (post-locate and pre-dig).

KEY POINT: Excavator engagement without predictive analytics is expensive and broad efforts typically do not target all dig sites posing damage risk. TRA field services provide the opportunity to deploy valuable field resources in the most effective manner while streamlining cost.
