Detection Solutions

Civil engineering and excavating contractors now, more than ever need accurate, highly reliable and up-to-date information about underground utilities - available for immediate use. Consideration should always be given to knowing the exact location of all buried utilities before excavation and construction processes start, reducing the risk of utility strikes and enabling efficient planning.
Using latest Leica detection technologies, localising underground assets becomes a simple and efficient task, increasing safety of crews on-site and assuring protection of buried utilities, ultimately minimising health and safety risks, unplanned costs and downtime.
Leica Geosystems Detection Solutions provide the most streamlined and integrated detection process in the field, covering avoidance, verification and mapping workflows combined with positioning systems and machine control.
