Improved detection of buried objects can be achieved using the latest tool from Radiodetection
Improved detection of buried objects can be achieved with the latest RD7000+ utility cable and pipe locator range from 2537 Radiodetection. The units feature compass and dynamic overload protection and are said to be ergonomic in design and user-friendly. The dynamic overload protection system improves location performance in electrically noisy areas while the compass package determines the orientation of a target cable or pipe, simplifying route determination and helps to improve depth measurement accuracy. The RD7000+ range comprises four locators, with the RD7000SL+ featuring standard active frequencies and rugged design, suiting it particularly to use in the construction industry. All the RD7000+ units are Centros and this measurement engine is based on over 30 years of development, combining new and innovative algorithms with established software on a high-performance processor core. The units also feature Radiodetection's eCAL package, which allows users to validate the original factory calibration of their RD7000+ locator.

    The concrete road paving market continues to develop - Mike Woof reports Concrete road paving technology continues to evolve, with new equipment and techniques coming to market. Although concrete road construction has been used for many years, problems with early generation technologies affected this market segment. The first concrete roads were constructed in sections, which led to problems at joints but these were addressed many years ago with the advent of slipform paving. Concrete roads constructed in t
