What is Cross Boring Detection?

Cross Boring Detection refers to the process of identifying and mitigating cross bore situations, where underground utility lines inadvertently intersect with other utilities, posing potential safety hazards. The most common scenario involves the unintentional intersection of a gas line with a sewer line, although other combinations are possible.

Detecting and addressing cross bores is crucial for ensuring the safety of utility systems and preventing incidents such as gas leaks or explosions.

Key Aspects of Cross Boring Detection:

Cross Boring Detection is an important aspect of underground utility management and public safety. Through proactive inspection, accurate utility locating, and effective mitigation strategies, the risks associated with cross bores can be minimized, protecting the infrastructure and ensuring the well-being of communities.
