The Ripple Effect: Understanding the Bigger Picture
Every 60 seconds, an underground utility strike occurs in the United States (while most of the incidents are not reported). These incidents cause more than $100 billion in damages globally, impacting communication lines, gas and power infrastructure, project timelines, and safety standards. But the real problem runs deeper.
A utility strike is never just a single event. It sparks a ripple effect:
Injury or worse potential employees and other bystanders injuries.
Reputational damage for construction firms.
Insurance and legal liabilities - denial of service that extend far beyond the initial accident.
RodRadar had the solution, but the challenge was clear: How do we shift the narrative from traditional mapping and surveying tools—seen as optional construction products— to positioning RodRadar’s proprietary technology, the Live Dig Radar®, as the must-have, real-time excavation safety technology?

RodRadar, a disruptive and visionary tech innovator has a different message in the traditional construction industry and its past perceptions of excavation safety. This required a messaging enhancement that would:
Speak to Diverse Audiences: Effectively communicate the severe impact of utility strikes to both innovation-driven stakeholders and traditional construction contractors who face these risks firsthand.
Resonate Across the Industry: Craft messaging that highlights the financial, operational, and safety consequences of utility strikes, making it compelling for investors, regulators, and construction professionals alike.
Shift Perception: Position RodRadar as an indispensable technology for excavation safety—not just another construction tool, but a critical solution for preventing costly and dangerous strikes in real time.
