1100 (Dial Before You Dig)

The Dial Before You Dig ‘1100 mobile’ app will allow a registered user to submit a request for information on underground infrastructure from all Utilities from any location within Australia. The application provides the user with the ability to view a map (including satellite maps) of a location and detail their required work site using the app before submitting the enquiry directly to the Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) service.

The application leverages the on-board Assisted GPS capabilities of the iPhone to provide enhanced location searching capabilities for the user. A Dial Before You Dig job can be created and delivered entirely from the device giving the user the ability to survey and submit a job on the spot or alternatively the job can be saved to the device to be submitted at a later date.

The application allows an excavation contractor to be onsite while simultaneously submitting details to the Dial Before You Dig service. Within seconds of completing the Dial Before You Dig request a contractor will be provided a list of all Utilities located at the nominated site along with any relevant contact details. Further information regarding the location of any underground assets will be delivered from utilities within 2 working days.
