Course Overview

This course incorporates just Unit LA of the Street Works Module – Location & Avoidance of Underground Apparatus. This module is aimed at operatives that are required to survey land prior to excavations, to locate underground services.

Who is the course for?

The cable avoiding tool (CAT) and signal generator (Genny) are commonly used to locate underground cables and pipes on site, but they are often used by untrained staff. This could result in errors being made, and the possibility of accidents occurring. This course will enable delegates to understand fully the correct operation and functions of this equipment.

Course content includes

Theory of cable location

Controls and display indications

Calibrating, and pre-use tests

Operation of power and radio modes
