Digging Safely: A Crucial Part of Construction and Utility Maintenance

Digging holes is essential for construction, installing, and maintaining buried utilities. However, each time you break ground, you risk damaging hidden cables and pipes.

Damaged utilities can be costly and dangerous, seriously impacting a company’s reputation. Therefore, excavating safely is a fundamental skill for utility companies, contractors, and the construction industry.

Striking buried electricity cables or gas pipelines can cause serious injury or death to workers and bystanders. Damage often occurs when detection tools are not used, work practices are inadequate or misunderstood, or on-site behaviours don’t reflect safe practices. It’s crucial to prioritize safety when digging to protect lives and infrastructure.

Radiodetection offers a wide selection of Electromagnetic, Ground Penetrating Radar, Acoustic and Magnetic locating solutions that can help identify subsurface utilities and their exact depth, helping operatives to dig safely.

Many products offer built in GPS or wireless connectivity to third party high accuracy GNSS systems, while our mobile apps allow the creation of detailed maps directly from the field.

Why use a cable and pipe locator system?

Save time
Strikes to cables and pipes will almost inevitably lead to wasteful delays to your project.

Reduce Costs
Help prevent damage to utilities and disruptions to services, which can be costly to repair and damaging to your reputation.

Avoid Penalties
Lower your exposure to compensation and fines for non-compliance to regulations.
