Info-UCN, the Ultimate Planning Tool

 

Until now, when performing excavation work within the public right-of-way, each contractor coordinated his work according to his requirements and agenda, without being informed of other planned excavation work that would be done during the same period and within the same area.

 

Since September 1, 2021, the Info-UCN tool is available free of charge to all municipalities and their representatives. This tool supports our mission in terms of damage prevention.

The Info-UCN application uses modern geomatic tools which allow stakeholders whose infrastructures are located within the public right-of-way to transmit to users any information related to planned excavation work in a fast, simple and dynamic manner.

Please consult the Info-UCN section provided on our site. All the information related to the application and the required steps to access it can be found under that section.
