Electromagnetic locators
These are used to locate most utilities. They consist of a transmitter - used for applying a signal to an insulated, metallic cable or pipe - and a receiver - used to pick up that signal. They are used to find utilities like telephone, electrical and tracer wires, gas and water metallic pipes and security, fire or lighting systems.
Ground-penetrating radar
These use electromagnetic waves to detect and locate image changes in the subsoil. The radar pulse provides high-resolution images and can detect hidden and buried targets of any type of material (metallic or non-metallic).
Vacuum excavator
A vacuum excavator is an essential tool for non-destructive digging. It excavates without risk of damaging underground utilities, combining high-pressure water with an air vacuum to remove unwanted material from an area.
Traceable rodders
These can track the route of buried or underground non-metallic telecom ducts or plastic pipes. The rodders are designed to be used with standard cable and pipe locating equipment to trace the length of the rod, making it easier to find non-conductive duct.
