Virginia 811 uses a GIS system to allow member utilities to identify the areas where they need to know about digging activity.
We also have the capability of importing shapefiles from your CAD or GIS systems.

The Virginia 811 Academy
The Academy is where you will find the training you need for use of Newtin Polygon Maintenance and Newtin Grid Maintenance. Both software applications are standalone programs that allow a Virginia 811 Member to access their Notification Area 24/7, ensuring that their records are up to date and accurate. Access to the Member Notification Area is permission-based and requires specific criteria. It is important to note that this training does not guarantee that Newtin access will be granted. The intended audience for this information is individuals who are already identified as being responsible for maintaining their Member’s Notification Area.
