FAQ

Everything you need to know

What is management of utility conflict?

Utility conflict management methodically identifies potential conflicts between different stakeholders and manages and resolves these disputes. These stakeholders include governmental entities, utility owners, and project overseers. Utility conflict management begins with investigating potential conflicts, resolving these conflicts, coordinating with various stakeholders, getting approvals for design, and liaising during utility relocation management.

Which are the benefits of identifying and managing utility conflicts?

Identifying and managing utility conflicts ensures construction projects' timely and successful completion. It eliminates damages to subsurface utilities and reduces safety risks to workers and communities near construction sites. It also establishes trusting relationships with various stakeholders, which benefits future projects.

What is a utility conflict matrix?

Successful resolution of utility conflicts is hampered by roadblocks resulting from poor communication, coordination, and cooperation. A utility conflict matrix addresses these three Cs. It ensures disputes are resolved effectively with the help of effective communication, ongoing coordination between various stakeholders, and cooperation between different entities, including utility owners, governmental authorities, and project contractors.

How can utility conflicts impact project timelines and costs?

When utility lines are encountered during a project, such as gas, water, or electrical lines, conflicts can arise that require additional time and resources to resolve. These conflicts may necessitate changes in the project design, requiring new permits, inspections, and coordination with utility providers.

What strategies can be employed to prevent or minimize utility conflicts?

To prevent or minimize utility conflicts, several strategies can be employed. Conducting thorough utility surveys and investigations before starting a project can help identify the location of existing utility lines. Collaborating with utility providers early in the planning stage enables better coordination and the development of alternative designs to avoid conflicts.
