Calling 811 is the essential first step. But paint marks on the surface can’t show the operator what’s happening at the bucket. Real-time detection as provided by Live Dig Radar®, right in the excavator cab, closes that gap and keeps the ball in your hands.

Utah’s most expensive turnover isn’t on an NBA court. It’s underground, and it costs $93.1M a year. That’s nearly the original $93M price tag of the Delta Center, home of the Utah Jazz and Utah Mammoth. utahbusiness.com/press-relea…

During Network Plus rollout of RodRadar’s 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐠 𝐑𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐫® with MACHINETECH, we grabbed James, one of their working crews’ operator, for a few sec to hear what he thinks of the LDR utility strike avoidance system. No script. His own words. We just added the captions.

27.6% of utility strikes happen after the crew called 811. Calling 811 before you dig is an important step in preventing utility damage, but it was never designed to eliminate strikes on its own. That's the gap Live Dig Radar® was built to close. rodradar.com/what-811-actual…

Over 7K flights were affected due to 1 underground utility strike. The primary FAA circuit was already down then a construction crew cut the backup and 5 airports ground stops. Only Live Dig Radar provides live visibility while digging & prevent strikes. shorturl.at/B1blb

This year, we're keeping our wishes simple: No strikes, No downtime, Everyone home safe. Shana Tova from all of us at RodRadar.

The @OhioCAT1 Demo Day in Cincinnati was a huge success. Many operators came for a hands-on look at Live Dig Radar® in action detecting underground utilities in real time, right from the bucket, before a strike ever happens. Next stop in Hilliard on Sept 10. See link in comments.

Summer is peak season for construction & the hottest. The combination raises the stakes on every jobsite. Stay hydrated. Take the breaks you need. And when time to break ground, don't dig blind use LDR to scan the ground in real-time. Stay cool & Safe. Stay ahead of what's below.

You did everything right: called before you dig, pulled the records, marked the surface. Then the excavator hits something that was never supposed to be there. Undocumented utilities aren't a records gap missed, they are a problem that was never recorded. l1nq.com/vr0jhst

Network Plus Launches Nationwide Rollout of RodRadar’s Live Dig Radar® to Tackle UK’s £2.4B Utility Strike Problem. The first to deploy our 30cm (12") LDR system, to pioneer a new #zerostriks standard for excavation safety. l1nq.com/4o9721j

Thank you for the coverage

Wet soil. Zero guesswork. Watch how our Live Dig Radar detected underground utilities in real time even on saturated, waterlogged ground, giving the crew a clear visibility before hitting the ground. That's the difference between a controlled dig and a costly utility strike.

Welcome @RiggsCAT! Last week, we had the pleasure of visiting our newest partner Riggs CAT's training facility in Little Rock, AR. It was great spending time with the team running live demos for customers who, like us, are focused on preventing utility strikes on job sites.

We are shortlisted for 2 @nfbuilders Construction Awards of Excellence 2026 -Health, Safety & Wellbeing Excellence -Future of Construction Award. These nominations recognize the impact of LDR Tech giving operators real-time visibility of underground utilities during excavation.

So how do you justify investing in a new tech? Read How to build a business case for underground utility detection technology. And what are the 5 key pillars for building a strong case, overcoming resistance to long-established excavation workflows.rodradar.com/how-to-build-th…

Utility strikes continue to cost the construction industry billions every year, The challenge isn't just the scale of the problem, it's that current utility locating & detection methods are not enough to provide the real-time underground visibility crews need during excavation.

The RodRadar team conducted a comprehensive training and field deployment program on the LDR® system at @MavericContract site together with our local partner @SITECHGermany . Maveric's operators received practical training using the LDR system in a live excavation environment.

Operators need real-time visibility beneath the bucket, because maps show where utilities should be-Live Dig Radar® shows where they actually are. Read the article and join the conversation on the future of utility damage prevention. newcivilengineer.com/latest/…

Mapping new utilities at installation is a critical step toward reducing utility strikes. But what about the millions of KMs of utilities already underground? Even perfect records can't guarantee safe excavation.
