Electrical Overhead Handbook
  • Michigan's natural gas utilities, transmission pipeline operators, and MISS DIG 811 are proud to provide this handbook to excavation contractors as part of our ongoing Pipeline Awareness Programs.
  • Our goal is to work with you to promote safe digging practices that protect the public, your employees, and the environment. By staying informed and following proper procedures, we can help ensure that every excavation is completed safely and responsibly.
  • Each year, thousands of utility strikes occur across Michigan, including damage to natural gas and pipeline facilities. These incidents can lead to service outages, pose serious risks to the public and workers, and result in expensive repair costs for excavators.
  • The information provided in this handbook is designed to help reduce-or even eliminate-the risk of utility strikes during your upcoming projects. Following these laws and guidelines not only protects infrastructure but also ensures a safer worksite for everyone involved.
