Live Dig Radar
Every time a hole is dug it caries risk in terms of causing damage or injury and there are 60,000 strikes each year.
The estimated cost of those utility strikes is just short of £2.5 billion pounds per year to the UK economy.
This contractor has therefore been using Live Dig Radar (LDR) which is integrated into the excavation digging bucket.
LDR technology overcomes existing GPR limitations, detecting underground utilities during excavation at any depth including shallow ones. On the surface and during trenching, LDR creates a new scan with each pass, consistently identifying targets only in proximity to the bucket.
