The damage prevention industry is one of the most intricate and important industries in the world. It is responsible for ensuring the safety, wellbeing and success of any construction, infrastructure, and asset related project where we live, work, learn and play. While the damage prevention space is ever-changing, filled with complexity and risk, it is the people – the excavators, locators, utility company personnel, engineers and 811 Center employees who meet this challenge daily.

For as long as I can recall I have always been interested in building things, no matter how big or small the challenge, I was up for it.
Over the course of my career in software and technology I have witnessed how building transformative technology can influence an industry, drive behavior, and promote change. When I joined Norfiled Development Partners in 2021, I was encouraged to see this same passion for building great technology among a true team of innovators. For over 40 years the company has been a leader in meeting the needs of the changing business and market requirements for the damage prevention industry.
Today, Norfield is reimagining how technology can serve the damage prevention industry and those that work within it. Our goal is simple, “Drive Safety Through Innovation”. We believe that this goal is made up of two parts; technology needs to be scalable, seamless, and straightforward and by leveraging information and data we can prevent greater than 90% of errors before they occur. Norfield’s Continuous Intelligence (CI) Platform called Insight LOGiX is a great example of these two guiding principles. Using tools and processes that integrate real-time analytics into business operations we can perform automated calculations that recommend specific actions. By leveraging augmented analytics and real-time data pipelines we are able to reshape how people and technology respond to rapidly changing conditions, eliminating the majority of damages that occur before a request ever goes out to the field keeping workers and the communities they serve safer.
When people ask me what my goal is for Norfield, I tell them: We will never stop providing great technology that rethinks how our industry operates, making their lives easier, safer, and more productive. Norfield will soon be connecting the damage prevention space on a global platform.
