A contractor may need to review plans, locate existing utilities, select equipment, classify soil, protect excavations, control groundwater, establish line and grade, install several types of pipe, coordinate valves and fittings, restore finished surfaces, and complete required testing. This online course helps candidates approach those subjects as parts of one connected trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Florida Underground Utility Contractor trade examination is open book. Effective preparation therefore requires more than memorizing facts.
