Buried Utilities and cables represent a major hazard to any construction worker. Obtaining accurate information about the location of the various installed services pipes, cables and utilities under the ground is a necessity before starting any excavations. It is the full responsibility of every company or person to verify the drawings from the utilities and avoid damaging existing services, pipes and cables.

Survey Systems Ltd supply a wide range of cable detection products from leading manufacturer Leica.  By clicking on the links above you can view the full range of cable detection equipment and also buy or hire the cable detection equipment.

The cable detection range includes:

Leica DIGICATTM, DIGITEXTM and DIGITRACETM


Via receiving reradiated radio frequencies through internal aerials, detecting the strength and direction of the received signals, the operator is given the location and direction of the underground service, pipes and cables. Mark the location of the service, pipes and cables on the surface of the ground, giving the excavation team clear indications of where not to dig.

The DIGICATTM can be used to find live (energised) power cables, trace buried metal services which reradiate signals, and with the DIGITEXTM 8/33 signal generator via specific tracing frequencies give highly accurate results. The DIGITRACETM service tracer allows tracing of plastic ducts, clay drains and other non-metallic conduits where access allows.

DIGITEXTM 8/33 Signal Generator


DigitraceTM

The DIGITRACETM enables a complete length of drain, duct or pipe (non-metallic) to be traced when used in conjunction with the DIGICATTM and the DIGITEXTM8/33 or other signal generator. The DIGITRACE’s coiled fibre-glass rod, which protects the central copper tracing conductor, is available in lengths of 30 meters, 50 meters, or 80 meters. The fibre-glass rod is inserted and pushed along in the service under investigation. The DIGITEXTM 8/33 is connected, and the tracing signal is located on the surface by the DIGICATTM.
