At Sygma Solutions we are the leading company providing training in the use of the CAT and Genny for the location of buried underground services. Our courses run from a basic one-day course to a five-day utility surveyor course. This latter course enables operatives to obtain a PAS128 and Level 3 qualification in utility mapping and is approved by The Survey Association. It also enables them to obtain a gold CSCS card which is required for working on HS2 and Heathrow airport. We are also approved by the CITB.
Our team has over 100 years of combined experience in the use of the CAT and Genny for the location and identification of underground services and we have a well-known track record with contractors and utility companies in reducing cable strikes. We believe that all surveys should include the use of the Genny, and our courses are designed to ensure that operatives have the skills to use the tools to best advantage.
We cover the equipment manufactured by all of the major providers including the Radiodetection CAT4 and Genny 4, RD8100,VivaxVscan and Vloc, and C Scope locators.
We are also the only agents in the UK for the Mala GPR Easy Locator which uses ground penetrating radar to locate underground services. The Easy Locator will detect both metallic and non-metallic underground services and is the GPR tool of choice for many utility surveyors. Ground penetrating radar is the only technology that does not require a connection to the utility and also does not need electromagnetic radiation from a utility.
In addition, if you use the Mala Easy Locator in the course of your work, you will know that it needs regular calibration and maintenance, and we have a fully stocked workshop so that we can undertake this for you. We can also arrange for collection and delivery of your Easy Locator if you require it.
