Working in compliance with HSG47 means avoiding damage to ALL - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Working in compliance with HSG47 means avoiding damage to ALL UNDERGROUND SERVICES not just cables � -Safe

Relying on a Cable Avoidance Tool alone is not Best Practice It’s BAD PRACTICE � -Safe

Not all buried services are metallic, conductive or magnetic Fibre Optic HDPE Clay Asbestos Pitch All non detectable with conventional cable avoidance tools � -Safe

Employing specialist In-House personnel or sub-contractors with expertise in additional technologies such as Ground Probing Radar may offer an effective solution but not necessarily a cost effective or time critical solution � -Safe

Doing nothing else however may prove to be even more costly….. � -Safe

Traditional Ground Probing Radar Often Large, Typical Cost Heavy and cumbersome to £10,000-£20,000 man handle Many require Assembly & Calibration before each use Experienced GPR technician Required to operate effectively Results can be difficult to interpret � -Safe without extensive training & experience

What’s needed is a • Small AFFORDABLE • Lightweight PRICE • Simple to use • Easy to Interpret • All Service Avoidance Tool; that can be used by • All existing site personnel • Without the need for extensive training • That complements use of existing cable avoidance tools. • Aids compliance with HSG47 � -Safe
