Excavators can utilize the ITIC website to submit locate request and share essential dig site information conveniently from their smartphone or computer. This blog is going to address some of our most useful tools that can help you make more accurate notes about where excavation will take place. These tools include the Radius Excavation Tool, Route Excavation Tool, Property Excavation Tool, Street Excavation Tool, and the Other Tool. ***Radius Excavation Tool*** The radius tool allows you to define a circular excavation area. This is especially useful when you're working with structures like poles or trees, where the excavation area naturally forms a circle. By using the radius tool, you can accurately mark the boundaries of your excavation site. ![radius](https://blog.missouri-811.org/hs-fs/hubfs/radius.png?width=1430&height=611&name=radius.png) ***Route Excavation Tool*** The route tool is designed for linear excavation projects, such as laying pipelines or cables. With this tool, you can draw a straight line along the path of your project, marking the exact width where digging will take place. ![Route View](https://blog.missouri-811.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Route%20View.png?width=1882&height=826&name=Route%20View.png) ***Property Excavation Tool*** The property excavation tool is perfect for projects that involve digging within a specific property. With one simple click, you can highlight the property where you will be excavating and then provide additional details as to the exact location within your property. ![Property Excavation Tool](https://blog.missouri-811.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Property%20Excavation%20Tool.png?width=1885&height=828&name=Property%20Excavation%20Tool.png) ***Street Excavation Tool*** The street excavation tool makes it easy to quickly submit a locate request if you are digging along a street. This tool is especially useful if the street is curvy. ![Street Tool - ITIC](https://blog.missouri-811.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Street%20Tool%20-%20ITIC.png?width=1897&height=899&name=Street%20Tool%20-%20ITIC.png) ***Other Tool*** Sometimes, excavation areas aren’t bound by circles or straight lines. For these situations, we have the irregularly-shaped excavation area tool. This tool allows you to draw any shape you need, ensuring that even the most complex excavation areas are accurately marked. ![other](https://blog.missouri-811.org/hs-fs/hubfs/other.png?width=1430&height=615&name=other.png) By using the ITICnxt website and the online tools we've reviewed, excavators can swiftly submit locate requests with the essential information needed for marking underground utilities. This will lead to better locates and a more efficient process for everyone involved.
