Radiodetection

Radio detection is a technology in which a receiver detects magnetic alternating fields (signal) around metal conductors (PASSIVE). This field is by nature present around metal conductors or is caused by means of a transmitter (ACTIVE, signal choice of transmitter and receiver must be equal).

Radio detection

Teccon bvba has radio detection equipment with both passive and active measuring options at its disposal

PASSIVE DETECTION

Tracing unknown metal cables and pipelines (radio signals, power signals, and signals from cathodic protection).

ACTIVE DETECTION

Determining the exact location, the course and depth of:

• TV cables, telephone cables, electricity cables
• cast iron pipelines with plastic seals
• steel pipelines, gas pipelines, and water pipelines
• casing errors (damage to pipe covering, by means of A-shaped frame)
• metal pipelines with probes and flex-tape

The ground tracer and radio detection are complementary technologies. With our combination 'radio detection - ground tracer - GPS - total station' we offer a total solution for researching the subsoil.

DIS- AND ADVANTAGES OF RADIO DETECTION

When using active localisation:

• exact location and depth determination
• quick and accurate methodology
• identification of the conductor

DISADVANTAGES OF RADIO DETECTION

• in passive localisation only long, continuous conductors can be traced and it cannot be established what sort of cable or pipeline it is
• the depth of a conductor can only be determined by means of active localisation
• radio detection cannot be used for tracing non-metallic pipelines
