Locators

HSS hires a comprehensive range of locating and detection equipment — including CAT & Genny cable avoidance tools, electromagnetic and radio frequency locators, ground-penetrating radar (GPR), and CCTV push-rod inspection cameras — enabling accurate identification of buried electricity cables, gas pipes, water mains, and telecoms infrastructure, with signal strength and depth readings where required. This equipment is essential before any excavation or groundworks to avoid utility strikes, carry out utility surveys, and demonstrate compliance with HSG47 guidance on avoiding danger from underground services. Typical users include groundworkers, civils contractors, utilities teams, and local authorities undertaking planned or reactive works in the ground.
