BC Common Ground Alliance Best Practices
BC Common Ground Alliance has developed, through the commitment and consensus of its members, a manual of Best Practices. These practices represent a statement of the type of activities that BCCGA believes do provide optimum levels of diligence towards preventing damage to underground infrastructure. Not all stakeholders are presently in a position to adopt these practices, however, it is anticipated that progression will be made towards following the practices over time. The following Best Practices constitute “BCCGA Best Practices Version 1”:
- One Call
- Planning and Design
- Infrastructure Identification/Location and Marking
- Excavation
- Mapping
- Compliance
- Public and Worker Education
- Reporting and Evaluation.
Comments and suggestions are welcome. Our intent is to make the statement of these Best Practices as easy to use as possible. Your input in helping us do this would be most appreciated. All industry stakeholders are welcome and encouraged to submit suggestions and to join Best Practice Committee meetings. Participation at this level is not restricted to BCCGA members.
In order to submit a suggestion, or to join a meeting, please check our website at http:www.commongroundbc.ca to learn about the scope of the various Best Practice Committees. The meeting dates and contact names and numbers are listed for each committee. If you have any general inquiries about the BCCGA, please feel free to contact the BCCGA at the following:
