Abstract
A system and method for monitoring and alerting of a working equipment proximity to a utility system. The invention provides a device on the working equipment with sensors and GPS location capabilities to determine location and/or movement event data of the equipment. The invention further includes the establishment of an imaginary buffer boundary established around the utility components to use in combination with the event data to provide a reference for alerts to be triggered. Alerts are automatically provided by the system and method at the working equipment and/or a remote operator dashboard.
