Colorado Pavement Solutions Earns Gold Shovel Certification
Colorado Pavement Solutions has received the coveted Gold Shovel Certification in recognition of its adherence to the Gold Shovel Standard’s guidelines and recommendations. CPS is only one of a few local paving companies in Colorado to receive the certification.
More About the Gold Shovel Certification
A Golden Shovel Certification is presented by the Gold Shovel Standard (GSS), a nonprofit committed to improving safety in the public and private workforce, especially toward underground infrastructure.
The GSS seeks to reduce damages to underground assets by third party contractors. A GSS can be applied to municipalities, excavators, locate-and mark companies, and all utility services like phone and gas lines. The idea behind the GSS is to decrease cases of damaged underground infrastructure and the headaches, potential injury/death and tax dollars that come with it.
Only contractors who are registered as part of the GSS and have continually demonstrated best digging practices and standards can receive the Gold Shovel Certification. Hiring a GSS contractor means homeowners are much less likely to deal with damaged infrastructure like phone, gas, sewer or electric lines on their property.
The goals of the Gold Shovel Standard include:
- 50% reduction is frequency of damages by professional excavation companies from 2015 to 2025.
- Make more than 50% of North America’s municipalities reliant on GSS metrics for permitting, franchise rights, and more by 2025.
- Establish more than 100 GSS communities by 2025
- Have more than 75% of insurance companies utilizing GSS metrics on policies for excavation and other underground work by 2025.
