About Us
The New Mexico Regional Common Ground Alliance (NMRCGA) was established in 2004 as one of 40 regional affiliates of the Common Ground Alliance, an organization formed in 2000 to continue damage prevention efforts embodied in the groundbreaking 1999 Common Ground Study sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation. This study included the collaborative work of 1,690 industry professionals who identified best practices related to damage prevention.
The NMRCGA works to prevent damage to underground infrastructure and facilities
through:
- Fostering a sense of shared responsibility for the protection of underground facilities;
- Supporting research;
- Developing and conducting public awareness and education programs; and
- Identifying and sharing knowledge and best practices to prevent damage to underground facilities.
Membership is open to:
- Any group, company, municipal government or individual owning or operating underground facilities
