Before you dig in Nationwide

Excavation in Nationwide typically touches multiple operators' networks — power, comms, water and gas all share the same road corridors. Three steps to do it safely.

  1. 1

    Find every operator serving your Nationwide project

    Plot your worksite on UtilityFinder to find every operator that serves the area — then use the directory below to contact each one for a locate.

    Create your map
  2. 2

    Request a locate from each operator

    Use the directory above to contact every operator that serves the area. Each one needs a separate locate request — submit via BeforeUDig or directly to each operator.

  3. 3

    Mark, protect, dig carefully

    Mark the locate paint or pegs on site, hand-dig within 0.5 m of marked assets, and never assume a clear trench means clear ground.

Plan your Nationwide dig with confidence

UtilityFinder lists every Nationwide operator — all 7 of them — with contact details and locate-request links on one shareable view. Pinpoint your worksite, send the locate requests you need, and get on with the build.

Frequently asked questions

How many utility operators are there in Nationwide?
7 operators are based in Nationwide, plus 7 nationwide providers that operate across NZ — that's 14 total to consider before you dig.
Who should I call before digging in Nationwide?
You need a locate from every operator that serves your worksite — typically that means the local council (water / stormwater), the lines company (power) and any gas or fibre providers active in your area. The directory above lists them all. For example, 2degrees can be reached on 0800 862 876.
What's the difference between a regional council and a city / district council?
Regional councils (in this case the Nationwide Regional Council) handle environmental management, public transport and stormwater regulation. Territorial authorities (city and district councils) own the actual drinking water, wastewater and local stormwater pipes you'll encounter when digging.
