This class should be a requirement for all locators and Damage Prevention professionals. The most educational presentation on the topic to date I've completed.

Read MoreBob is a super knowledgeable guy and he clearly has a passion for helping others in his industry. I took this course as an intro for myself to doing utility locating and reading the markings and interpreting the equipment for my own professional development. I am not a professional locator, but often excavate for work, have located myself when I couldn't get a company to do it, and am looking at more underground construction in the future. So this was an awesome source of information and I am no doubt going to be safer and better informed about best practices going forward.
