Right-of-Way

See also our General Restrictions and our Engineering Restrictions.

Accidents most often occur when excavation equipment operators are unaware of the presence of underground lines. Sunoco Pipeline participates in a damage prevention notification program called One Call, which provides a convenient toll-free telephone number for homeowners and construction crews planning to excavate near a pipeline.

Notifying One Call before digging helps ensure that any lines at the dig site are located before the work begins. One Call notification is required by law in many states. Taking the time to call before you dig, may reduce disruption of service, accidents, injuries, and possible delay of your project.

So if you are "planning to dig," contact the One Call Center in your state.
