UNDERGROUND SERVICE LOCATING

What We Use

QSS use only the highest quality of equipment to ensure that your job is done correctly and efficiently;

Pipe and Cable Locator/Electromagnetic Locator (EML) – vLoc3-Pro Utility Locator:

The vLoc3-Pro utility locator introduces new innovative tools for locating buried utilities assuring damage prevention while gathering information for analysis. With two sets of screened 3D antennas signal distortion is easily detected and displayed on the bright full color display. Along with classic locate screens the vLoc3 series locators offer new locate perspective screens of Vector Locate for fully automatic non-walk over locating, Transverse Graph showing both peak and null simultaneously providing immediate measurement of signal distortion, Plan View showing the relative orientation of the cable at any angle, and a new graphical Sonde screen with guidance arrows leading to the sonde location even when it is vertical.

The highly user configurable vLoc3 series contains eight passive locate modes, fault-find mode, SD (showing direction of outgoing current), and a range of configurable frequencies from 16Hz to 200 kHz. Audio and mechanical vibration alerts can also be configured by the user providing warnings for shallow depth, overload, overhead cables, and excessive swinging. Plug-in-play options for the receiver include optional Bluetooth module useable with external GPS devices and EMS foot to locate buried markers.

Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) – Leica DS2000 Utility Detection Radar:

The Leica DS2000 Utility Detection Radar easily detects and positions deep and shallow targets simultaneously, collecting more information, faster, in any environment. Data gathering and export of any underground utility, from fibre optics to storm sewers, is made possible with the DS2000.

Combined with the powerful and rugged Leica CT2000 field tablet and smart antenna, the DS2000 is part of the complete Leica Geosystems detection and underground mapping solution.

Trace Rod – Leica Digitrace:

Makes locating small, non-metallic drains, ducts or pipes quick and easy and is available in 30, 50 or 80 metre lengths. The Digitrace rod can be inserted and pushed along the buried utility under investigation when connected to a DIGITEX signal transmitter and the signal traced on the surface by a DIGICAT cable locator.

Sonde – Leica MAXiSONDE:

A 55mm dual frequency sonde can be used to trace deep lying drains, sewers and other non-conductive utilities. It acts like a signal transmitter, can be attached to a wide range of equipment and has a depth range of 12 metres.
