Welcome to the Joint Meet sheet. A Joint Meet is a pre-construction meeting where contractors request utility representatives to discuss the planned digging area and identify where lines need to be marked.
This collaborative approach helps ensure clarity and coordination before excavation begins. However, it’s important to understand that a Joint Meet does not fulfill the minimum legal requirements for a locate request, and utilities are not obligated to attend these meetings.
To comply with legal requirements, contractors or excavators must submit a formal locate request ticket before any actual digging can commence.
