Before anyone digs near live power, the site needs a map of what is buried. At John Cain Arena in the Melbourne Park precinct, Drain Solutions traced the underground power cables and conduits and recorded the depth and alignment of each one so work could go ahead safely.
In brief
- Where: John Cain Arena, Melbourne Park precinct
- Job: locating and mapping underground power cables and conduits
- Equipment: Radiodetection locating equipment
- Result: depth and alignment of each service recorded
Why are live cables a risk to dig near?
A strike on a live cable puts people at risk and can stop a site. A map of where each service runs, and how deep, lets the crew plan around it.
Which equipment traced the cables?
Radiodetection locating equipment was used to follow the cables and conduits. Each service was then marked and mapped.
