The locating system works together with a sonde, which makes it the ideal system for locating non-metallic pipes such as sewers, for finding blockages and for tracking sewer cameras and jetting heads. The sonde is inserted into the non-metallic pipe at an accessible point and moved along it, for example with a glass fibre push cable. Above ground the receiver follows it precisely, so the route of the pipe is established and its depth measured.
Passive location of buried cables and metallic pipes is also possible, using power and radio signals. This allows construction work to be prepared precisely, protects buried infrastructure and reduces hand excavation through accurately targeted digging.
Field of use
Companies that mainly maintain non-metallic pipe networks: municipalities, wastewater associations and their service providers, sewer service and sewer cleaning.
