Detection of buried utilities for construction using electromagnetic location – EML Training
CAT (Cable Avoidance) and Genny (Signal Generator)
This course is a CITB accredited course delivered to the Approved Training Organization (ATO) Standards, and is applicable for the Skills and Training Fund Grant.
This course can be adapted to suit the client’s requirements, training can be delivered on site using the client’s training room or at a convenient, suitable location utilising the specific equipment.
Who should attend
This face to face course is for anyone who is involved in excavation or survey work on construction sites to detect the presence of underground services. This course is ideal for roles such as ground survey teams, excavation operatives, those needing to detect services prior to carrying out work, it is also suitable for those supervising or managing these operations.
Max Delegates : 8 Duration : 6 -Hours
Course Aims and Delivery
The purpose of this standard is to provide the delegate with the knowledge on Detection of buried utilities for construction using electromagnetic location – EML Training for avoiding danger from underground services. Each candidate will be instructed in the correct location techniques, methods of detection and limitations of equipment.
This is a classroom-based presentation with practical application on the safe use of the CAT (Cable Avoidance Tool) and Genny (Signal Generator), the course can also encompass the use of the flexible trace wire and sonde for locating underground pipes such as surface and foul drainage.
Operatives attending the course are requested to bring a Hi vis vest or jacket, or full site PPE if the training will take place on a construction site.
