SC811 is here to assist its members in providing "maximum protection for their buried facilities along with a safe working environment for excavators and the public".
SC811 is a not for profit corporation owned by its membership and governed by a Board of Directors. It was formed by its member companies in response to the passage of "The South Carolina Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act" in 1978 #58-35-10.
SC811 provides a communication service, which enables anyone planning to excavate anywhere in South Carolina to provide notice to its members of that intent. SC811 provides toll free telephone number 811 or (888) 721-7877) for the excavator to call. As each call is received, it is entered into the SC811 computer system and the "locate request ticket" containing the location of the excavation and other information are automatically dispatched to each affected member. Upon receipt of a "locate request ticket" the affected members dispatch their personnel or contract locator to mark their underground facilities in the area of excavation. There is no charge to the caller for this service.
SC811 is a very crucial part of our members' damage prevention and safety programs. All conversations are recorded and maintained by SC811. This information is available to SC811 members upon written request for 3 years.
