When digging into the ground CAT and Genny’s are vital. Excavations which have been dug without the prior check with a CAT and Genny can lead to cable or pipe damage which could cause personal injury, expensive repairs and delays. The CAT is used to be able to locate these underground services, so they can be avoided.
The CAT can be used in 4 different modes: Power (P), Radio (R), Avoidance (A) and Genny (G)
A few of the subjects covered on the course:
