This is an Advanced Hands-On follow-up course that requires the completion of our Underground Utility Locating course. This course is geared toward the experienced locator and is a must for your cable locating technicians that have completed our Underground Utility Locating course.
Today's underground environments are getting more and more congested and advanced with so many more providers, contractors and all types of deployments and services provided today.
The massive deployment of fiber optic cables, power lines, existing copper in the ground, underground utilities (facilities) for telephone and internet services, cabling systems, electric services, gas lines, liquid pipelines, water and sanitary sewage systems, etc.
This course will cover the advanced topics that are continually asked in our previous course that just do not have the time to cover that class. So this course was built on the constant request from our completed students that want more advanced testing and advanced topics "Beyond the Basics".
This advanced course can be tailored to any Utility Environment and can include any customer equipment.
