The excavator digs the trench. Suddenly a pipe is exposed. The construction site is at a standstill. The site manager is called. The lot is ready.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every site manager in civil engineering is familiar with such situations. Nobody has to explain why pipe damage happens. Site managers, foremen and civil engineers are well aware that plans are often inaccurate, pipes are laid differently than shown, markings are missing - and the time pressure on the construction site is high.<\/span><\/p>\n

The real question is: <\/span>How can you reliably prevent damage to cables on construction sites?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

The core problem on many civil engineering construction sites<\/span><\/h2>\n

Many civil engineering companies still work with the same analog process: The plan is checked, the pipeline information is obtained - and then the route is transferred to the construction site with a tape measure and paper plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

This basically works. But this is where many problems arise:<\/span><\/p>\n

Transferring the information from the plan to reality is time-consuming, using a tape measure and string. Even small deviations can lead to the line being several meters off the mark<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not possible to compare the various basic plans in analog or paper form.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reference points in line information are often not available, so precise localization using a tape measure or measuring wheel is not possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

This creates a typical situation for site managers and civil engineers: <\/span>The information exists - but not where the work is being done.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t

Solution: Mark cables on the construction site<\/span><\/h2>\n

The most important lever to <\/span>Avoid damage to cables in underground construction<\/b>, is simple: cables must be <\/span>be visible where work is being done<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many civil engineering companies therefore rely on <\/span>Digital line marking<\/a>, to locate cables more quickly and mark cable routes precisely.<\/span><\/p>\n

The difference is crucial:<\/span><\/p>\n

The plan does not remain in the office - it is available directly on the construction site.<\/span><\/p>\n

Site managers, foremen and civil engineers can see immediately on the tablet or smartphone:<\/span><\/p>\n
