A beforeUdig member is any Utility or similar organisation that wish to protect their underground assets from damage and or interruption. ^#Asset Owners become members of the beforeUdig service by registering the location of their underground assets and will then receive notifications of any intended works lodged as an enquiry with the beforeUdig service. By doing this, members will immediately be notified when contractors or other users who use the beforeUdig Plan Request service are planning to excavate in or around their assets.

Benefits of being a member include:

• Minimising risk of service interruption
• Ensuring continuity of supply of essential services
• Preventing injuries to workers
• Reducing potential financial losses
• Improved public image
• Managing risk
• Leverage from other Utilities enquiries
