Once known mainly for citrus farming, Ontario, California is now a major Southern California city that continues to grow and develop. Since it became home to an international airport in 1993, Ontario has developed into a logistical hub. It also has a significant number of manufacturing businesses, as well as shopping and entertainment venues—most notably, the Toyota Arena. Not to mention, it is home to more than 185,000 people.
Whenever a city starts to expand, the need for underground scanning services, like those provided by Enhanced Scanning, increases. In the case of Ontario, new construction continues to happen. New distribution centers are going up, new home communities continue to be built, and the city’s infrastructure is constantly being improved to accommodate growth. Projects like these require responsible developers to understand what types of hazards they could encounter when they start disturbing the ground.
Having an underground scan performed prior to the start of a project can save all types of headaches. It can prevent disruption to utility services to local businesses and residences, it can save developers time and money (or in the case of municipal projects, it can save the taxpayers money), and it can prevent injuries.
Unfortunately, some developers fail to have an underground scan completed, and others do little more than “check the box” when they are required to get one done. There’s very little excuse for this. The cost of high-quality underground scanning services in Ontario is typically a small fraction of the overall project cost, but it could end up saving the developer thousands of dollars if it prevents an accident or project delays.
At Enhanced Scanning, we keep our underground scanning prices reasonable because even though we are in business to make a profit, we also want to do our part to help reduce the number of preventable accidents that occur in the city of Ontario. We can’t do this alone, however. We need developers to do their part and have an underground scan completed by a company like ours that prioritizes thoroughness and safety.
Maybe you landed on this blog post because your project is about to get underway in Ontario and you just now realized that having an underground scan completed is something you should do (or are required to do). The good news is that an underground scanning technician from Enhanced Scanning can typically get to your site within a day or two. When you contact our office for service, let us know if you are under a tight timeframe and we will do our best to get someone out to you as soon as possible.
