What is Cable Avoidance?
Buried services pose a major hazard to construction workers. Excavations which have been poorly planned and prepared for can cause cables or pipe damage leading to expensive repairs, project delays and most importantly, personal injury.

Cable Avoidance is designed to help professionals in this field use the latest tools to locate cable underground during ground work activities so these hazards can be avoided. Therefore, Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT), are important for those working in utility location and avoidance fields in order to detect any potential danger that may arise in the future.
Choosing a career in Cable Avoidance
Having a career in the cable avoidance and utility sector requires the ability to detect cable underground and perform ground work surveys. As utility strikes can be damaging, having a hands-on experience and in-depth knowledge in cable avoidance is a way to curb the risk associated with cable strikes and improve accurate detection of cable location in the industry.

Excellent training in Cable Avoidance would improve your utility surveying knowledge, boost your confidence and skills, and primarily teach you how to use the necessary equipment to detect cable locations.
Training
The CAT or Cable Avoidance tool is widely used to detect signals naturally radiating from metallic surfaces, buried cables and conductors. Cat and Genny Training provides participants with the necessary knowledge needed to operate the equipment and correctly trace underground services.

An effective Level 2 Cable Avoidance Training course should cover hands-on training using actual locators to detect and trace the route of buried services, both on and off site. It should also cover the different types of buried services that exist, current legislation and best practices concerning detecting buried services, the safety implications of not using a locator and skills associated with the ancillary equipment.
