Electromagnetic detection of underground cables has been in use since the turn of the 20th century and today this method of locating buried pipes and cables is almost universal. The main disadvantage of using this method is that it will not locate plastic pipes or any other lines that are non-metallic. However, utility companies that take the trouble to add a tracer wire to plastic pipes will not have any problem.
Plans should always be used when attempting to locate buried pipes and cables, but one of the problems is that many of them are inaccurate, and in other instances are not in existence. Confusion can also be caused when buried cables are close to each other, or where one may be above another.
The RD8100 is the latest in a long line of electromagnetic detectors which have been developed over a period of 40 years. Radiodetection RD8100 training is available from specialist companies that provide cable detection training to the employees of contractors who are likely to undertake any sort of groundworks and will need to be aware of the likelihood of any problems with utility cables on the site.
