Do you know what is below the foot path before you start digging ? Six hundred people are injured every year as a result of damaging underground cables while working on the highway. More are injured through damaged water and gas pipes. When cables/ pipes are damaged there is often a high charge for repairs and loss of work, with the correct training in the use of cable locators cable strikes can be greatly reduced.

Our cable and pipe avoidance courses will teach you to use detection equipment to safely locate before you excavate and avoid service strikes.

Courses can be delivered at your premises across the UK or In- House and tailored to the equipment you currently use. We will advise you of the best options available.





Project Skills Solutions Specialize in providing dedicated Cable Avoidance & Location Courses that can be delivered ‘In House’ or on site using your equipment.
