Fiber optic lines are an essential part of modern telecommunication infrastructure. Often buried underground, the lines are made of thin glass or plastic fibers that carry information in the form of light signals. Why do traditional locating methods struggle to find fiber optic lines? Fiber optic lines have a higher bandwidth than traditional copper wires. […]

When a concrete slab at a commercial or infrastructure site is poured, it rarely only contains concrete. Therefore if you need to cut into the concrete you must be prepared for something other than concrete to be waiting for you. Scanning for post-tension cables or other devices uses to provide support for concrete will help […]
