Vivax-Metrotech Pipe and Cable Locator

LandTech recently acquired a Vivax-Metrotech vLockPro2 underground cable and pipe locator. The system comes with a hand-held receiver and 5 watt transmitter, and works in both passive and inductive modes.  Passive mode works best for locating live buried electric lines, and inductive mode is used when searching for buried metallic cables and pipes, or nonmetallic pipes with tracer wires. We have been able to use the equipment on three jobs now, and we are very impressed with its capabilities. We were able to confirm underground utilities shown by KUB and City of Knoxville Engineering Department records, and we also accurately located private underground service lines for our clients’ projects.

We have nothing but good things to say about the folks at Tracer Electronics in Mt. Juliet, TN, our Metrotech dealer. If you are interested in knowing more about this particular equipment, check out the Vivax-Metrotech website:
