SECTION 2 - BOREHOLE LOCATION POSITIONING AND CLEARANCE

2.1 - Purpose

The purpose of this section is to provide guidance to protect underground facilities, owners of these

facilities, the environment, and workers when conducting drilling activities. Risks can be minimized or

eliminated when proper clearance procedures are followed. Typical underground facilities include, but are

not limited to:

• pipelines of all types,

• utilities,

• electrical conduits,

• overhead structures such as signs or canopies,

• fiber optic lines, and

• tanks.

2.2 - Scheduling

Due to project budgets, resource allocation, and subcontractor agreements, scheduling is a key aspect to a

successful result. After the client, the facility, and regulatory agency have approved the location(s), permits

and any necessary access agreements have been obtained, the schedule should be developed. The following

scheduling process should be followed:

1. Site visit (check for critical areas),

2. Schedule acquisition of permits and access agreements,

3. Schedule with the facility (utility locates, pavement cutting, drilling),

4. Schedule meeting with facility staff (underground structure locates),

5. Schedule One Call or other utility location representatives to mark public utilities,

6. Schedule private locators (if needed),

7. Schedule pavement removal crews,

8. Schedule drillers, and

9. Schedule traffic control companies.

2.3 - Obtaining Access Agreements

The next phase in the pre-fieldwork preparation is to determine if an access agreement is required to drill on

the site property. If an access agreement is required, the proper legal agreements need to be drafted and

executed prior to commencing the drilling operation. The project team should keep a copy of the applicable

access agreement while on-site and during drilling activities. The following situations will most likely

require an access agreement:

• Right of way agreements for access to railroad, county, city and state properties,

• Access to private property,

• Game and Fish permits for drilling within the high-water mark of any water way,

• Local jurisdiction permits as required, and

• Army Corp of Engineers for drilling on a levee.
