Basic Line Locating Tech I (USA)

This one-day program covers the basic principles involved in underground locating, including an overview of the type of problems utility staff regularly encounter and how to solve them. The presentation is generic in nature and does not promote specific makes or models of line locators. The objective is to enlighten utility staff on the increasingly complex functions involved in this important and cost-effective activity. Indeed, a well-informed locator saves time, money and, in some cases, injury.
