Empowering land surveyors to map with confidence
Land surveying and subsurface utility engineering demand precision. Unmapped utility lines can cause project delays, safety hazards and major financial liabilities, while non-metallic utilities remain difficult to detect in challenging ground conditions.

Field Inefficiency and Wasted Man-Hours
The Challenge Tracing multiple lines across a site typically requires engineers to constantly walk back and forth between the transmitter and receiver to recalibrate the signal, draining productivity and increasing labour costs.
Our Solution The MSL-800 allows operators to pre-calibrate signals for up to 20 different cables at the source. The receiver then automatically identifies the pre-calibrated signal, drastically reducing round-trip calibration time and maximising fieldwork efficiency.

The Danger of Misidentifying Live Cables
The Challenge Cutting into a live power line because it was mistaken for a decommissioned or communication cable is a catastrophic safety and financial risk.
Our Solution Equipped with a flexible current clamp (designed as a Rogowski coil), the MSL-800 safely identifies both energised and de-energised cables allowing for non-contact measurement of cables up to ∅200mm without disconnecting the line.

Depth Measurement Errors Caused by Distortion
The Challenge Distorted electromagnetic fields near bends, tees, or close parallel utilities frequently cause standard locators to miscalculate the true depth of a buried asset.
Our Solution The MSL-800 utilises advanced digital filtering and multi-antenna array technology to filter out distorted field signals, providing reliable, real-time depth readings.

Low-Signal or Insulated Tracer Wires field application
The Challenge Non-pressurised plastic pipes outfitted with tracer wires often suffer from poor grounding or weak signal transmission, making them virtually untraceable over long distances.
Our Solution The MSL-800 features high-output, adjustable transmitter frequencies that optimise signal induction on poorly conductive or insulated tracer wires.

The Blind Spot of Non-Metallic Utilities
The Challenge Standard electromagnetic locators require a conductive material to trace a line. As modern infrastructure increasingly utilises HDPE, PVC, and fibre-optic, field crews are left with dangerous blind spots especially in difficult conditions like saturated, high-clay soils.
Our Solution The Innovam Dual Sense can be used to detect these non-metallic materials directly, acting as the perfect complement to your existing EM and GPR.
Recommended Product
Innovam Dual Sense
Signal Attenuation in Clay and Saturated Soil
The Challenge High moisture content and conductive clay compositions heavily absorb or scatter radar and electromagnetic pulses, causing severe signal loss and preventing accurate depth estimation.
Our SolutionThe Dual Sense is engineered with optimised multi-frequency ground penetration capabilities that cut through challenging soil profiles where conventional systems fail. It doesn't just push a signal into the ground; it intelligently reads the terrain to bypass dense interference. By delivering clear, uncompromising spatial data regardless of the soil matrix, the Dual Sense empowers field teams to locate, measure, and map infrastructure with absolute certainty.

Difficulty Using GPR on Paved and Concrete Surfaces
Urban mapping projects often require scanning directly beneath thick asphalt or reinforced concrete. Standard tools struggle to differentiate between structural layers, rebar, and subsurface voids.
Our Solution The Dual Sense can pinpoint the exact location of the utility without having to push a GPR cart.
