This list is provided for convenience only, and the contractors are not endorsed or preferred by SDG&E. This is not a complete list of contractors who are qualified. Any contractor with a valid Veriforce Field Verification Report (FVR) with the appropriate Backfilling qualifications is qualified to perform the backfill. Contractors must provide this verification upon request and keep a copy on the job site at all times.
Prior to any construction activities near a high-voltage transmission line, please contact SDG&E to determine if a qualified electrical worker (QEW) is required to perform Standby Lineman Services in accordance with California Administrative Code – Title 8 Industrial Relations Safety Orders – sections 2940, 2946, and 2948 and California Government Code section 4216.
If it is determined by SDG&E that Standby services are required for your project, a QEW will be provided to you at no charge.
For reference, the minimum clearances below apply to all persons who are not an SDG&E authorized QEW to work on or near SDG&E owned high voltage conductors.
Overhead Transmission Conflicts (69kv and above): Workers must maintain a radial clearance of at least 20 feet or adhere to the minimum clearance distances specified in CALOSHA Section 5003.1 for workers and equipment. This applies to all individuals who are not QEW approved by SDG&E.
Overhead Distribution Conflicts (600V – 50KV): Workers or objects not supported by boom-type equipment must maintain a radial clearance of at least 10 feet from high voltage conductors. Boom-type lifting or hoisting equipment, including the load, must maintain a horizontal distance of at least 20 feet from high voltage conductors. This applies to all individuals who are not QEW approved by SDG&E.
Underground Electric Transmission, Electric Distribution, and High-Pressure Gas Conflicts: Any excavation or potting within 10 feet of existing direct-buried cables and duct packages require Standby Lineman Services (safety watch, outage coordination, and/or construction means and methods review). Only QEW approved by SDG&E may perform Standby Lineman Services. Schedule Standby Lineman Services in advance by contacting one of the contractors on this list linked below.
For questions regarding SDG&E’s Standby Lineman Services, please contact us at (858) 416-1372.

The Designer Qualification Program for Applicant Design and Contract Design (ADCD) pre-qualifies non-SDG&E designers to perform SDG&E gas and/or electric design. The program also provides no-cost access to SDG&E design tools and systems.
