Dig Safe Maritimes
Congratulations! You are now the owner of a RIPPA mini excavator or Skid Steer. However, before you can put it to use, there's a few steps that have to be done.
1) Find your power lines
Get a hold of your provincial power services below and fill out their underground locate service. They need a minimum of 5 to 14 business days before visiting your property.
2) Find your telecommunication & pipe lines
Info Excavation underground locating service bundles multiple utilities all in 1 simple request form. The buttons below will show you the utilities covered by Info Excavation/Province.
3) Apply and Patience
The request form with Info Excavation can be found below. It must be filled out on a desktop or laptop as their request form can not be completed on mobile.
Once your request form has been made, all that's left is to wait. This is a great time to get familiar with your machine. Practice changing out the buckets, read the manual , and take the machine out for a spin. By the time your dig permit is approved, you'll be confident in operating your machine.
