As of 4:15 today…We are BACK online! 🌐🛠️
First, a massive THANK YOU to everyone for your incredible patience today while our online ordering system took an unexpected coffee break. We appreciate you sticking with us!
While we genuinely loved hopping on the phone and getting to chat with so many of you, let’s be honest—trying to describe and draw your project work zones over a voice call is a bit like playing Pictionary with your eyes closed. 😂
Our digital mapping and ordering tools are fully fixed, refreshed, and ready for action. Drawing your work zones online is definitely the way to go for the fastest, most accurate setup!
Ready to get started? Head over to our website and map out your next project today: www.811ak.com
Thank you again for your support and understanding! 🚀👇

Update: No, it's not you. It's us. The Portal (online ticket) Google map interface is broken. Give us a call at 907.278.3121 or 811, and we will take your orders "old school" over the phone.

As of 8:30 a.m., our Ticket Portal is down. Should be back up within the hour.

Congratulations!

Congratulations to the 2025 Golden Shovel Award winners!

The awards were presented during the 2026 Safe Digging Conferences on April 9–10 and recognize companies that set the standard for excavation safety.

Golden Shovel Award winners are selected based on the number of locate tickets requested in 2025, with zero damages. It’s a strong reminder that clicking or calling Alaska 811 and digging safely works.

Thank you for your commitment to protecting underground utilities, keeping crews safe, and helping prevent service disruptions across our communities.
