Gather Information
A successful job begins before the burst. The first step in planning is reviewing information already
available about the job and jobsite.
Review Job Plan
Review blueprints or other plans and make sure you have taken enlargement during pullback into account.
Check for information about existing or planned structures, elevations, or proposed work that may be
taking place at the same time.
Notify One-Call Services
Call area One-Call or similar services and have existing lines located and marked. Call any utilities in your
area that do not subscribe to One-Call.
Examine Pullback Material
Ask for a sample of the material you will be pulling back. Check its weight and stiffness. Contact the
manufacturer for bend radius information. Check that you have appropriate pullback devices.
Arrange for Traffic Control
If working near a road or other traffic area, contact local authorities about safety procedures and
regulations.
Plan for Emergency Services
Have the telephone numbers for local emergency and medical facilities on hand. Check that you will have
access to a telephone.
