SERVICES Cable Locators Cable locators use expensive electromagnetic locating equipment to detect and locate the depth of cables underground within a 97% accuracy range. This allows you to be able to use earth moving equipment to remove most of the soil with confidence, before you dig the small remaining amount by hand. Pipe Locators Pipe locators still use electromagnetic transmitters, but often pipes are made of concrete or pvc, making tracking them with the direct connection method impossible. With over 15 years experience, pipe detectors use what’s called a ‘sonde’ to trace the location and depth of non metallic pipes; again allowing for safer use of earth moving equipment when digging underground. Cable Locators With over 15 years experience locating cables underground, Service Locate ’s cable locators use electromagnetic cable locating equipment to locate the type and depth of cables underground safely, before you dig or excavate.
