How Pipe & Cable Location Works

01
We use professional-grade multi-frequency electromagnetic locating equipment to transmit a signal onto the target utility.
02
A receiver traces that signal along the route of the pipe or cable, allowing our team to identify its path, depth, and position above ground.
03
For non-metallic services such as PVC pipes, we use a fibreglass sonde or tracer rod to carry the locating signal, allowing us to trace alignment and confirm depth .
