The British Columbia Common Ground Alliance is a non-profit organization established to lead development of consistent practices and coordination of activities to ensure the highest possible standards of public safety,worker safety and damage prevention in connection with underground infrastructure.
The BC Common Ground Alliance is affiliated with the Common Ground Alliance in the United States and with other similar partner groups in Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Damage Prevention is a Shared Responsibility.
BC Common Ground Alliance announces the first annual City of Excellence Award, designed to recognize local governments for activities that improve ground disturbance, safe excavation techniques and best practice at or around underground infrastructure, in the year previous to the award.
Congratulations to Metro Vancouver for winning the 2009 City of Excellence Award.
Look forward to nominations for 2010 in December.
For companies who disturb the ground in any way, our DigSafe BC! workshop is important. We all want to stop hits on underground infrastructure and keep you, the public and the environment safe.
Next Workshop: Fall
