STANLAY STLOC10 GPS Pathfinder Pipe & Cable Locator

Cable Route Tracer

The latest Pathfinder Pipe Cable locator based on SAF technology is designed to provide the operators a cable route tracer that can be utilized for cable & pipe locating in the most congested utility environment for long distance tracing of pipe or cables.

The high-power precision cable pipe locating system is ideally suited for tracing of metallic pipes installed at high depth in oil-gas deployments and HDD installations of telecom fiber optical cable & power cables. The Pathfinder system 10-watt transmitter (nominal) provides up to 12 watts of output power for high depth cable pipe surveys up to 10.6 meters.

With the new large LCD display that provides the operator compass based orientation with respect to buried cable being traced will allow any operator at any level of experience to trace a specific buried cable at walking speed.

The Pathfinder is a multi-frequency cable pipe route locator that provides the operators the option to add or delete over 36 frequency options based on field requirements ranging from 512Hz to 476.2kHz, to allow the operator to choose low to high frequency most ideal for that specific utility locating environment.

Pathfinder is offered in two model options:

- without built in GPS and datalogging
- cable route locating receiver with GPS & datalogging built in.

Pathfinder GPS based cable route locator provides the capability to perform survey grade cable pipe route plotting gps points of route surveyed along with other key information.

The Pathfinder, irrespective of model option chosen, provides other advanced features necessary for route tracing such as

Compass Mode
Left Right Arrow function
Live Depth and Current measurements
Operating frequency.

Mapping of Underground Utilities
As built maps of utilities are made in reference to specific points, which become null and void as the civic layout changes. Most times, such maps do not even exist. The utilities are often confronted with the task of ensuring expansion of buried services, without knowing the locations or routes of their utility assets. The contractor is bestowed the responsibility to execute the work of new installation of cables or pipes or even over ground structures such as fly over’s, freeways or buildings without damaging existing buried cable and pipe utility services. The task faced by the contractor (or the user i.e the utility itself) is applicable to all types of utilities and especially buried utilities such as water pipes, sewer pipes, power cables etc. The onus of avoidance of buried utilities is of the contractor. Many a contractor recognize that they are faced with the task of mapping ...

Why is datalogging important in buried pipe & cable locators.
While the cable pipe detector such as the CSCOPE DXL2 cable avoidance tool are thoroughbred professional tools for detecting cables & pipes which are built to perform,  if there is a cable cut, the subject will come down to  : 1. Was the cable avoidance tool used at all before the digging was initiated. 2. The second question would be - If yes, which modes was it utilized in ; i.e was only the power mode utilized for detecting energized power cables, or was the all scan mode used to detect all utilities in one sweep. 3. Third question, were the right gain settings utilized. While the use of the product is child's play for an experienced operator, it is the first chapter of a boo for a new or inexperienced or untrained operator. Data logging allows the supervisor or the manager to know  : Whether the equipment was utilized at all. ...

When is a ground penetrating radar beneficial in locating of underground pipes & cable utilities ?
The task of Locating underground utilities can be bifurcated into two deliverable: 1.Detection of underground utilities 2.Mapping of underground utilities If we take“a”this can be further subdivided into: 1. Detection of metallic cables & pipes, whether energized current carrying utilities or non energized utilities such as signaling cables, metallic pipes etc. 2. Detection of DI pipes, metallic manholes etc. 3. Non metallic HDPE telecom pipes, fiberglass manholes, etc. Underground cable & pipe utility locating requires the use a combination of various equipment’s and techniques which need to be chosen based on desired deliverables and then correctly employed to obtain the desired results. If the answer is “i”, an operator with basic training on usage of the ever dependable CSCOPE DXL2 Cable avoidance tool or CAT33XD Cable avoidance tool, can do the job blindfolded. If the answer is “ii”, an additional metal detector &/or magnetic locator is required. If the answer is “iii”. The use of a ...

Stop Before You Dig
The civic layout of India based on the growing need for housing and roads has changed beyond recognition.  As a result As-built maps of underground utility assets, if existing , have been rendered redundant and cannot be used for reference for presence of buried utility assets. Jcb Excavators or manual labour at work in the country are digging in the blind at most times, at the peril of significant safety concerns of digging directly into live high voltage cables. Such cuts of buried cables can lead to , in order of priority , fatality to the person excavating and serious losses to the company who has taken the work contract. Not to mention the relative inconvenience to the citizens. The underground space is a jungle of energised power cables, dead power cables, water pipes, jelly filled telephone cables and optical fiber cables. The detection of these assets is ...
