Utility Detection
Today’s underground environment is an ever increasing mass of pipes, cables and other buried infrastructure. To utility companies these buried services are assets that need to be protected, whilst to the construction industry they can represent a major hazard. Precise and reliable information about the presence, location and depth of these utilities and other buried infrastructure is therefore essential.

Today’s underground environment is an ever increasing mass of pipes, cables and other buried infrastructure. To utility companies these buried services are assets that need to be protected, whilst to the construction industry they can represent a major hazard. Precise and reliable information about the presence, location and depth of these utilities and other buried infrastructure is therefore essential. Unfortunately, the maps and drawings that are supposed to detail this information are often old, inaccurate, incomplete or even non-existent.

MALA Geoscience’s range of products offer the best imaging solution to reliably and non-destructively gather this important subsurface information accurately, efficiently and in real time, for both metallic and non-metallic targets.
