FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Teledyne’s Pipe and Cable Tracking solution used for?
Teledyne’s UPAC (Utilities Pipe and Cable) Tracker is designed to locate and map underground and subsea metallic utilities—such as power cables, telecom lines, and pipelines—without relying on ground-penetrating radar (GPR). It’s used in construction, energy, telecom, and offshore infrastructure projects.
How does it differ from traditional GPR systems?
Unlike GPR, which can struggle in wet or conductive soils, Teledyne’s system uses pulse induction technology that performs reliably in challenging ground conditions and underwater environments, making it ideal for both terrestrial and subsea applications.
Can the system be used for subsea cable tracking?
Yes. The UPAC solution is engineered for subsea cable tracking, including applications in telecommunications, power transmission, and oil & gas pipelines. It supports both shallow and deepwater deployments.
What makes the system suitable for land-based utility work?
On land, the system provides precise location data for buried metallic infrastructure, helping reduce the risk of accidental strikes during excavation. It’s especially useful in urban environments where asset congestion is high.
What industries benefit most from this technology?
Key sectors include:
- Utilities (electric, water, gas).
- Telecommunications.
- Oil & Gas.
- Marine construction.
- Municipal infrastructure.
