Building Project Center
Build fast. Build safe.
Specifications, safe-digging rules, and inspection guidance for contractors working on or near our electric, gas, and district energy systems. Read it before the crew rolls — it saves weeks.
The Documents Crews Actually Use
Current editions are provided with your service request — always confirm you're building to the latest revision.
Service Requirements
Electric, gas, and steam specification books covering meter rooms, service entrances, clearances, and materials.
Operator Qualification
Contractors on gas facilities must hold current operator qualification credentials for each covered task they perform.
Inspection Guidance
Job aids and recorded-video inspection standards that show exactly what our inspectors look for — pass the first time.
Before Any Excavation
Mark-outs are the law
- Call 811 at least two full working days before breaking ground — every job, every time
- Respect marked tolerance zones; hand-dig or vacuum-excavate within them
- Verify markings are current — they expire, and re-marks are free
- Struck or scraped a facility, even lightly? Stop work and call 1-800-555-0199 immediately
Starting a Project?
Submit your service request early — design review and mark-outs run in parallel when you plan ahead.
