Damage control: How BYDA's new dashboard is promoting data-driven digging

Before You Dig Australia (BYDA) has long championed safer excavation practices and damage prevention across the construction sector. With the introduction of their newly launched Damage Data Dashboard, BYDA aims to provide vital insights that enhance data accuracy and reporting standards. By aggregating high-level statistics on utility damage, the dashboard offers a clear view of potential risks and promotes proactive prevention strategies.

Access to this real-time, comprehensive data is exclusive to BYDA members, empowering them to make informed decisions, ensuring safer digging practices and minimising utility damage.

What is BYDA's Damage Data Dashboard?

The BYDA Damage Data Dashboard is a game-changing tool for construction and excavation projects. It collects and displays data from major utility networks, including water, telecommunications, gas, and electricity. Since its inception, it has tracked over 15,000 utility damage incidents. Never has there been so much insight into the patterns and causes of these events.

The dashboard is easy to use and has dynamic filtering options so you can view data by location, utility type and time frame. This makes it easier for project managers and site workers to assess risk and plan excavation activities more safely and efficiently.

One of the key features of the Damage Data Dashboard is the ability to see trends and recurring issues in specific regions or across certain utility types. This is crucial for developing targeted risk mitigation strategies and reducing the number of damaging incidents. The dashboard is also a collaborative platform for utilities and construction companies to share information and best practices to lift industry-wide safety standards.

In short, BYDA’s Damage Data Dashboard is more than just a reporting tool; it’s a complete risk management system for proactive damage prevention. By using the dashboard in their daily operations, industry professionals can comply with safety regulations and lead the way in data-driven excavation.
