There is no Charge for Locating and Marking Buried Assets

The 3 Step Process

There is no Charge for Locating and Marking Buried Assets

Since Alberta One-Call Corporation began providing services, there’s been a misconception that the crews locating and marking buried utilities across Alberta are our employees. They’re not. Along with that misconception, there is also the belief that you have to pay for locating and marking buried facilities on your property after you’ve made a locate request to AOC. That’s also incorrect.

When you request a locate from Alberta One-Call Corporation, our members — the buried utility owners that have registered the location of their buried assets with AOC — will be notified of your proposed excavation activity. Once notified, they will respond to your request within three business days and, if they need to locate and mark the location of their buried assets in the vicinity of your proposed dig site, you will not be charged a fee.
