I’m always banging on about how OXEMS can deliver exceptional efficiency and effectiveness to utility companies tasked with locating and identifying underground assets. But today I’m going to look at ground penetrating radar - it may be expensive and require well-trained, experienced operators, but utilities resort to it in order to try to get a clear picture of what lies beneath the surface.
Being a product person at heart I know a product needs to do the job it is designed for. It needs to be easy and intuitive to use and it needs to be fit for purpose. So putting OXEMS kit through its paces in laboratory conditions has been a critical part of its development.
I know there’s sound logic behind C.A.T. technology, but the very words ‘Cable Avoidance Tool’ strike me as being counter intuitive. It must be because OXEMS technology is designed to find and identify underground assets – not to avoid them!
