Technical Spotlight

Electromagnetic Utility Detection (Cat & Genny)

We use electromagnetic locating equipment, commonly known as Cat and Genny, to accurately trace conductive underground services such as cables and pipes. This technology works by transmitting a signal through a service and detecting its position and depth, helping to identify both known and previously undocumented utilities within a site.
Our surveyors apply a range of proven methods depending on site conditions, including direct connection for maximum accuracy, signal clamping where access is limited, and induction for locating hidden services. This flexible approach ensures reliable results across complex environments and supports safer excavation planning.
