Check before you dig
Digging without being informed can cost you dearly!
Did you know that three-quarters of the breaks to underground pipes are caused by an error or negligence of the people doing the excavating? Around your house, there may be essential underground systems that you and your neighbors rely on, including gas lines, power lines and television cables.
Individual
Contractor
Before starting any work that calls for digging, be it to install a pool, fence or patio, follow these steps:

- Submit a locate request to Info-Excavation online or by calling 1-800-663-9228. It’s simple and free!
- Have your localization plan on hand before you start your work. Read it carefully, as there may be additional instructions before you begin.
- Find or mark the location of the pipe on the ground, according to your localization plan. Keep this marking in place for the entire duration of your work.
- Dig by hand in the buffer zone (i.e., 1 metre on either side of the pipe).
You’ve hired contractors to do the work? Ask them to perform the necessary verifications or forward them the locate report you received. Every broken pipe requires the fire department and Énergir’s emergency service to intervene. See our document to interpret localization plans and steps to be respected when working near natural gas networks.

Before starting any excavation work on your construction site, such as for street or underground infrastructure repairs, follow these steps:

- Submit a locate request to Info-Excavation online or by calling 1-800-663-9228. It’s simple and free!
- Have your localization plan on hand before you start your work. Read it carefully, as there may be additional instructions.
- Locate Énergir’s marking or mark the location of the pipe on the ground, according to your localization plan. Keep this marking in place for the entire duration of your work.
- Use a soft excavation method (shovel, hydro excavation, vacuum excavation) in the buffer zone (i.e., 1 metre on either side of the pipe).
You can use our prevention sheet, developed jointly with the CNESST, to ensure that you have implemented all the best practices when working near the gas network.
Coordination of work
If you are intending to perform road work, please notify Énergir during the planning phase so the company can make improvements to its gas network at the same time. Better coordination of work activities will benefit all citizens.
