Permitting & inspections · Civil & infrastructure
Permits in hand before the crew mobilizes.
ROW permits, 811 locates, and agency inspections all have to clear before you break ground. A missing permit or un-located gas main stops mobilization.
The reality
A stalled mobilization is usually a missing clearance.
The PM files an encroachment permit and waits, forgets to ticket 811 until the day before digging, scrambles to schedule a pre-construction inspection the agency requires, and discovers a utility conflict or a permit hold only when the crew is already standing on site with nothing to do.
The operator files ROW and encroachment permits early, submits utility locate tickets and tracks positive response, coordinates agency inspections against the schedule, and works every hold to clearance so mobilization isn't waiting on paper.
