Typical applications
- Preparation for earthworks and HDD — ruling out utility damage
- Locating cables, water, sewer and gas lines
- Producing as-built schemes of existing networks
- Verifying depth and referencing of utilities
Things to consider
- Accuracy depends on the utility material and depth
- Non-metallic networks without markers are located with a probe/camera

FAQ
Why trace before HDD?
The bore path runs next to existing networks. Tracing rules out damage to cables and pipelines and keeps the work safe.
Can a plastic pipe be located?
Yes — with a probe launched into the pipe or a camera with a transmitter.
