Advanced Line Locator

Every day more than 10,000 line locators across Canada work with a complex underground infrastructure. They are frequently faced with significant obstacles and challenges that negatively impact the quality of locates. Safe excavation projects require accuracy and planning.

Line locators require crucial skills and knowledge to accurately locate, mark, identify and document buried facilities in a safe and effective manner. Whether a billion dollar construction site, or a backyard home renovation, it is essential that line locators are competent to perform all necessary tasks in order to ensure a safe ground disturbance project.

Developing Qualified Line Locators

SAIT Polytechnic is pleased to announce the development of the Advanced Line Locator Certificate program, scheduled for launch later this summer. This new and unique program will provide in-depth and extensive detail regarding line locating specific to industry sectors, ensuring the well-rounded knowledge of the locators working in those sectors.
