Online CAT And Genny Training For Operatives Who Need To Locate Underground Services

Today we live in the 21^st century and we have more and more clever gadgets than we could have even thought about 30 years ago. One of those is WiFi. You have your phone or your laptop in your home, or when out and about, and you can instantly connect to the internet which means that, in turn, you can chat to somebody in Australia if you wish. No cables. No nothing.

Except that that is unfortunately not quite true. Somewhere along the line there has to be a router in the vicinity, and that has to be plugged into an electric socket in order to receive signals. That means that there has to be power and telecoms cables under the ground so that the router can receive them.

That is not a problem, either, unless somebody out in the street, up the road, or next door, starts digging and accidentally cuts one of the cables. Then you have no connection.

What that means is that if you are in any business where you need to dig into the soil you first need to check if there are any utilities running underground on the site.

All sorts of different businesses need to carry out excavation works of some form or other, including construction companies, and the utilities themselves who often need to repair or replace underground cables and piping. So, the first thing to do, before you begin to dig, is to check for underground services using the CAT and Genny.

You Need Cable Location Training

Certainly, you can go and buy one of each and read the instructions, but that would be as silly as buying a car and getting behind the steering wheel without having had driving lessons. You need cable location training in order to be sure that you are doing everything correctly.

Cable location training is what we provide at Sygma Solutions. And now we are also providing online CAT and Genny training.

When the pandemic hit, we still had workers who needed to dig into the ground for many different reasons, and so we devised our online CAT and Genny training which is the same as our physical classroom training but is done online, using an interactive software that lets attendees ask questions and get answers from the instructor.

Certainly, you need to carry out the practical part of the training on site, either at our place or yours, but the classroom training can be done online which saves time and money because you can do it from the comfort of your home or office.
