How Daylighting Services Prevent Utility Damage in Construction

Daylighting is a critical process in modern construction that plays a significant role in preventing utility damage and ensuring safe excavation practices. Using non-destructive excavation methods, such as hydro excavation, daylighting exposes underground utilities, including pipelines, cables, and sewer systems, for visual inspection. This process helps avoid accidents, reduces repair costs, and promotes a safer…
