Important Announcement – LSBUD Now Operational In Northern Ireland
In what has been a highly anticipated development, LSBUD is thrilled to announce that we are now fully operational in Northern Ireland.
Not only is this a fantastic step forward for LSBUD, it is also the final piece in the United Kingdom puzzle, making it easier, safer and faster than ever before to search for underground utilities whilst moving even closer towards our goal of safe digging for all.
As we launch, we are very proud to welcome our first two Members for Northern Ireland; Virgin Media O2 & Mutual Energy
Nigel Myers, Senior Streetworks Policy Manager, Virgin Media O2 says;
“Virgin Media O2 is delighted to make our asset location plans available in Northern Ireland through the LSBUD service. Engaging the market-leading LSBUD service will give our customers the easiest possible route to obtaining our plans. Automating the provision of these plans will ensure that everyone who needs to dig can plan their works simply and effectively. This will help third parties to work more safely and ensure that accidental damages are reduced, works are completed without incident and our customers stay connected.”
Whilst Phillip Shortt, Senior Gas Operations engineer at Mutual Energy commented:
“Mutual Energy is thrilled that LSBUD is now available in Northern Ireland, providing crucial protection for our infrastructure, whilst keeping people safe when working around our assets. Building on our longstanding successful relationship with LSBUD in Scotland, we are excited to extend this collaboration to Northern Ireland”
As a User of LSBUD there will be nothing different you need to do. Simply use your existing account to submit your searches in the exact same way you always have, you will now just be able to do this in all Northern Ireland locations as well. For anyone in Northern Ireland that doesn’t yet have an LSBUD account, the wait is over! No matter who you are, a contractor, farmer, planner, land or homeowner, you can use this link to register a free account with us and start using LSBUD as your go to tool for keeping you and your teams safe when digging.
Discussing the exciting expansion, LSBUD’s Managing Director, Richard Broome, commented:
“We are delighted to be expanding the LSBUD coverage into Northern Ireland, and we are excited to begin this journey with two well known asset owners in Virgin Media and Mutual Energy from the onset.
Whilst many LSBUD Users already work across the UK, this expansion marks ‘new territory’ for us and we look forward to working with all those asset owners based in Northern Ireland that are committed to safeguarding their assets to the highest possible standard, and, with users who prioritise the safety of people working around them.”
