Cable Avoidance Tool

Pipe and cable locators have important safety and cost saving implications in the civil engineering and utility industries. The use of a Cable Avoidance Tool [CAT] as part of the pre-excavation survey is an established safety practice. CAT locators are used to trace the route of virtually any type of underground pipe or cable.
