This session will introduce locating and marking underground lines. This two-fold training will begin in the classroom with an overview of locating theory and technology. We will then have hands-on instruction outdoors to put into application what you have learned. You may bring your own locating device, or one may be provided.

For our General Members (Underground Facility Owners/Operators) Only.

Improve your Service Area Mapping to ensure precise locate requests near your registered underground assets. When mapping accuracy is lacking, member companies may end up receiving requests for areas significantly distant from their actual asset locations. Enhancing your service area mapping not only saves time and money but also ensures that you receive only relevant locate requests for marking your facilities.

This training is perfect for individuals who are new to GIS or looking to expand their skills in service area mapping. Unlock the potential of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with our extensive training session designed for beginners. In this course, we will provide a thorough introduction to GIS concepts and showcase practical applications using QGIS, a robust and free open-source GIS software. The primary focus will be on enhancing your efficiency in creating and maintaining service area maps.

Lunch will be provided to both Workshop and Annual Meeting Attendees. After lunch, non-members may go to 811 Certification and OKIE811 Membership will remain for the Annual Meeting.

Course content is specific to Oklahoma and the Underground Facilities Damage Prevention Act as well as Contact Center procedures and Best Practices.

There is a 25- question test at the end that must be passed with an 80% or better score for the student to receive their certification.
