Safe and reliable detection of cables and pipelines
For work on cables, pipelines, and underground infrastructure, fast and reliable insight is essential. In practice, however, detection is often carried out using varying settings, methods, and equipment, resulting in data that varies in completeness and accuracy. This makes datasets less useful for design, revision, and transfer.

Detection solutions
Uncertain cable and pipeline locations lead to safety and excavation risks.
For grid operators & asset managers
KLIC information and historical records often do not match the reality in the field. Locations are inaccurate, incomplete, or missing entirely. The discrepancy between the recorded location and the actual location creates risks during excavation: from material damage and service interruptions to direct safety hazards if a power line or high-pressure pipe is hit.
For infra & contractors
In practice, detection results are often produced using different tools, settings, and assumptions. This creates variation in depth, horizontal positioning, and the interpretation of objects. Combined with discrepancies relative to KLIC data, the risk of excavation damage increases. A mislocated cable not only means downtime and repair costs, but it also puts your employees in direct danger if a live cable or pipe is struck.
At Geodirect, detection does not have to be complicated
We provide detection equipment and workflows that are pre-configured, tested, and aligned with your GIS, CAD, or management system. This ensures you receive consistent results that are immediately usable for design, revision, and transfer, without the need for extra cleaning or corrections.
Fast and consistent detection workflows
With reliable detection and uniform settings during recording, you prevent damage to critical assets. This ensures continuity, safety, and compliance within your management and maintenance processes.
Data that aligns directly with design and revision
With consistent detection workflows, you have reliable information before the first excavation begins, making operations more predictable, reducing risks for your team, and structurally lowering failure costs.
Immediately deployable with specialist support
Your own team can detect and register using pre-set workflows and onboarding from our specialists. This eliminates the need for second surveys and long lead times.
What does this mean for your workflow in practice?
Standardized detection methods provide immediate and accurate insight into the location, depth, and completeness of cables and pipelines. The data integrates directly with engineering, revision, and execution, reducing risks and improving turnaround times.

Frequently asked questions
Short answers to the most common questions about our solutions and how they fit into your workflow.
Do you connect your instruments and software to our current GIS or CAD environment?
We coordinate coordinate systems, transformations, and data links with your environment in advance. As a result, measurements are imported correctly from the start, reducing the need for corrections or conversions.
Can our employees start working with your equipment immediately?
Yes. Everything is delivered ready-to-use with clear settings and sample projects. During onboarding, we explain the workflow so your team can work independently and in a consistent, effective manner.
Does Geodirect also help with setting up fixed measurement and processing profiles?
Certainly. We assist with reference points, coding, and field profiles. This ensures predictable results, less rework, and a more efficient field-to-office workflow.
Need advice from our Sales Engineer?
Our specialist Duncan will be happy to help you determine which combination of detection equipment, settings, workflows, and data delivery best suits your projects or management processes.
Not just the equipment itself, but the entire process is reviewed with you. This includes location and depth determination, data processing, coordinate systems, integration with CAD or GIS, and transfer to revision. This ensures everything fits together perfectly and the information is immediately usable.
