JULIE Large Project Process

JULIE created a Task Force to develop a method to increase communication among members when there is a large project that may result in increased workload for members’ utility locators.  The team was tasked with creating a definition for large projects and creating a process for early notification and ongoing communication so all members can better forecast for needed resources and be informed about the extent of work planned within realistic timeframes.

What is a Large Project?

Working Definition: A Large Project is a single excavation occurring over a long period or consisting of a large/complex area.  It may also be a series of repetitive, related-scope, short-term excavations.  Large projects have a significant impact on existing underground utility facility owners.
