Pipe Locators – acoustic, electronic & radar-based
Pipe locating is method-driven. We cover acoustic tools (ground microphone/geophone), sondes & transondes for non-metallic lines, active cable/pipe locators (transmitter ↔ receiver), PCM/CP mapping for protected pipelines and optional GPR for wide-area subsurface scans.

Choose the right approach
- Task: Route tracing, crossing checks, blockage/leak pinpointing or CP condition assessment.
- Material: Metallic → active/PCM; non-metallic → sonde/transonde; mixed/unknown → add GPR.
- Environment: Account for interference and urban clutter (frequency plan, power, filters, acoustic coupling).
- Records: Depth readout and logging/mapping where documentation is required.
Field practice
Inject a clean signal, confirm route by cross-checks and verify depth. Change frequency/mode if interference shows up; for acoustics, optimise contact points.
