The Different Ticket Types

Routine

This ticket is used for new requests in which the 48-hour notice, excluding weekends and holidays, is provided.

Emergency

These are tickets that do not provide the 48-hour notice and where work will be done immediately. In an EMERGENCY, Operators are to respond as soon as practical. ALSO: emergency tickets cannot be processed through ITIC.

Respot

This is used for update tickets where no information will change.

Modify

This is used for update tickets where information on the ticket will be changing.

Meet

In ND meet requests are not guaranteed. You can request an appointment to meet with the utilities but marking instructions must still be provided in case the utilities do not respond to this request.

Survey

Used for non-excavation locate requests (ie. Design, engineering, etc.), which allows for electronic data exchange and has a longer locate window (5 days). For more information, please see ND Century Code 49-23-04.1.
