Page Tucker , President and CEO of ProStar, stated today: " The fact that we are now seeing adoption by large national construction and engineering and surveying firms is a key indicator that we have developed a game changing technology. These are the firms that take on the liabilities and risk associated to not knowing the precise location of the buried utilities and so the decision to adopt and implement a new technology that replaces well entrenched business practices that have been in place for decades is a major shift in the construction space. I anticipate that several more major construction and engineering and surveying firms will now follow in the path of these early adopters ."
