Abstract
System and method for damage avoidance in an excavation area include: receiving an excavation area and an excavation depth; accessing a database of a plurality of utility assets to identify a buried utility asset within the excavation area and the excavation depth; retrieving information from the database for the identified buried utility asset; fusing the buffer zone associated with the buried utility asset and the depth of the buried utility asset to obtain a latitude buffer zone for the buried utility asset; comparing the latitude buffer zone for the buried utility asset and the excavation depth; identifying a party responsible for the buried utility asset; and automatically transmitting an electronic notification to the party responsible for the buried utility asset.
