Today was just one of them days where the dumbasses were in rare form. The job site super wanted me to test drill the water and sewer lines for this new project so when I bring in the rock saw we have an idea how much rock is there, no big deal, I had a couple retention ponds drilled and ready to shoot. So I asked if he has locates done for the gas, and power, I don't want to punch a hole in a line, IT'LL SUCK!! He says "no I don't think there's anything out here." 200' away is a compressor station for a high pressure 10" gas main. I know it crosses the property, it has no other way to go. On the other side of that is the sewer and water mains we are supposed to tie into. I said if we don't hve locates I can't drill that direction, too much risk, I hit that line and it's gonna ruin my day. He freaks out and argues that we have to, it's imperative that we have this info. I just walked away, it was a no win for me. He didn't get it, but I did see the locators show up this evening, so I guess I got my way. Lol
