The market offers several types of detectors, each suited for different applications:

• Electromagnetic Locators: The most common type, ideal for tracing conductive materials. They come in both active and passive modes.

• Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR): Excellent for creating a subsurface map and locating non-metallic utilities like plastic conduits, which cannot be found with electromagnetic locators.

• Cable Fault Locators: These are more specialized devices used to pinpoint the exact location of a fault or break in an already-known underground cable. They use techniques like acoustic sensing and pulse generation to locate the precise point of failure, minimizing the area of excavation needed for repairs.

As a manufacturer of both installation and maintenance equipment for power lines, we understand the critical role of these tools in every phase of an underground project, from initial planning to long-term upkeep.
