NEW higher GPS antenna The 8200SG has 1-2 cm / 0.5-1 inch accuracy! The 8200SG is equipped with a specially designed survey-grade GNSS/RTK antenna, enabling RTK positioning. In contrast, the 8200G includes a standard internal GPS for mapping and logging purposes. This difference allows the SG to attain much higher absolute position accuracy, faster and more reliable fixes, and compatibility with correction services. True survey-grade GNSS + RTK support The RD8200SG features a

Simply understanding the fundamentals of locating reduces the likelihood of misplacement, thereby also lowering the risk of an excavator unearthing a pipe. Globally, there are 20 million miles of underground utilities. In the United States alone, there are 20,000 incidents of damage to these utilities each month.

Whether antennas are called peak, null, omni, or 3D, there are only two ways to read an electromagnetic field, vertically and horizontally. Ideally, to resolve the interference of parasitic capacitance and inductance (stray electric signal), these antennas should have adequate spacing between them. Vertical antennas (Null) have the ability to exam field strength in relation to the polarity of an electromagnetic field which allows for field guidance, but within limits when an

A line locator is a simple tool to detect electromagnetic fields. The receiver picks up an electrical induced charge when crossing through a moving electromagnetic field. The current being generated within the receiver indicates the presence of a signal. The stronger the signal, the greater the induced current. As the receiver is moved horizontally through the electromagnetic field, current increases and decreases relative to that proximity. The amount of current the recei

FLAME PACK 400 The Flame Pack 400 is Southern Cross' industry standard leak detection technology since 1974. The Flame Pack 400 is a sensitive, economical, proven flame ionization leak survey instrument. The instrument can both be used for walking surveys with applications both for vehicle and ATV mobile surveys. The instr Instrument leak indications consist of an audible alarm, visual meter display and light indicator, and new models also have a vibration application that

The introduction of the DIRT report in 2003 was a major turning point for the Damage Prevention industry. As each year has passed, and the data has become more accurate and complete, the report has allowed industry leaders and stakeholders to make informed decisions about Damage Prevention programs and assess their impact. The CGA states on its own website that, "Data informs nearly every aspect of CGA's operations and industry recommendations,” With the publication of the 20
