Can't Locate without a Trace Wire

Описание: In order for us to be able to locate an underground plastic gas pipe, it needs to have a trace wire laid with it. No trace wire, means we will not be able to locate it. 
Yes, occasionally we do have success finding gas pipes with the ground penetrating radar. But I will be honest with you, of all the times I have attempted to locate a plastic gas pipe with a GPR, I have succeeded maybe 15% of the times, if that.
Also, occasionally a gas pipe will have a trace wire but it will just be broken at the meter or along the line. Which means you can sometimes still locate it, simply by moving the transmitter to a different position, but again, the odds are still against you.

So unfortunately, no trace wire = no gas pipe locate.

We’ve been in business since 1998, making us one of the oldest and most experienced service locating companies in Victoria.

Our manager Ben Minutoli was the first in Victoria to obtain his Dial Before You Dig certification and, to date, we’re still the only company in Victoria to have multiple technicians within the company who are DBYD certified (if you don't know, that’s the highest level of certification for a locator in Australia).

Actually, if you don't know about the Dial Before You Dig certification you can find out more about it here, at a blog post Ben wrote when it first came out: https://geelongcablelocations.com.au/...

And you can also read more about it on another blog post he wrote 12 months after it was started, as well as some tips on how to know which locator to pick to come out to your site: https://geelongcablelocations.com.au/...
