Why does it seem to be the case that whenever a road or new pavement are laid, the utility companies are always on the scene within days digging holes in the newly laid surface?

You would think that with the myriad forms of information sharing available to us that there would be some system of organising these essential works before the new surface was laid. Or is that asking too much? I can answer my own question - yes it probably is.
