What exactly is an Alternate Locate Agreement (ALA)?Īn ALA is a legal agreement, between plant/facility owner and an excavator, outlining the conditions and terms, agreed to by both parties, whereby the indicated excavator can safely proceed without a traditional field locate, aka “paint on the ground”, when using a specific method of excavation ( hydro vac), for low risk work. We hope this helps make this innovative process a bit clearer for our clients and the public. To help explain what this is and how it works, we have developed a frequently asked questions document. With many of the province’s larger underground facility owners, we have established an alternate arrangement – an Alternate Locate Agreement, often referred to as an “ALA”. However, this does not always mean we need to have traditional field locates. As a leading provider of hydro vac excavation services throughout Ontario, it is necessary for Super Sucker Hydro Vac Services to have locates when digging.
