Electromagnetic Pipe & Cable Locating
Precision locating of metallic pipes and cables using electromagnetic detection technology.
Technology Overview
Electromagnetic (EM) locating technology detects metallic pipes and cables by sensing the electromagnetic field they produce or by inducing a signal onto them. Our advanced receivers can locate utilities at depths up to 6 meters with centimeter precision. This technology is essential for safe excavation, utility mapping, and infrastructure management throughout British Columbia.
