Cable mapping
CABLE MAPPING
When locating conductors in earthworks, whether excavating or blasting, it is important to make sure exactly where power lines run underground. Otherwise, major additional costs, major damage to the power grid or, in the worst case, injuries may ensue. At Ostromap we have several years of experience in cable location and can help you find telephone, electricity and fibre cables as well as any heating pipes that are underground. This is done with the help of a cable locator.
Cable or wire location is done by electromagnetic measurement. The principle behind an electromagnetic search is that a transmitter creates a magnetic field around any metallic cable or wire that lies in the ground, and, with a receiver, it is possible to determine its position from ground level. So, request our cable location service and we will mark the terrain so that the earthworks are safe and so that no damage to wiring will occur.
Cable mapping
Mapping with GPS technology is a good solution to the problem of maintaining underground wire and cable documentation. In the survey, we use the Trimble R8 or Trimble R10 receiver. We carry out mappings of telephone, electricity and fibre cables as well as municipal infrastructures such as water and sewerage. The mapping can include existing wiring, but also new cables for different construction stages when they are visible on the ground. The customer can choose the format in which the cable documentation should be provided.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about our measurement services. We will be delighted to tell you how we can facilitate your work!
