EMF utility locating is a highly reliable and accurate technique used to locate and map continuous conductible materials buried underground. It works by inducing a magnetic field in the line being traced, which can be detected on the surface using an EMF receiver. This allows the position and depth of the utility to be accurately located with high precision.

EMF utility locating can be used to detect a wide range of utility types, including steel and copper wires, gas lines, power and telecommunication lines, as well as plastic pipes laid with a trace wire. With advancements in technology, modern EMF locators like the RD8200 offer advanced features with built-in GPS and updated transmitter arrays that allow for even more precise signal location.

Electromagnetic Frequency (EMF) is a non-destructive utility locating and mapping technique utilised to locate underground utilities. The process involves inducing a magnetic field on the line to be traced through an antenna connected to an EMF receiver. Once the electromagnetic frequency is detected on the surface using an EMF receiver, the position and depth of the utility is accurately determined. The technique can trace any conductive material that is continuous such as steel and copper wires, gas lines, power and telecommunication lines, as well as plastic pipes laid with a trace wire. The latest technology in EMF transmission and detection includes updated transmitter arrays, precise signal location, and built-in GPS tracking, improving utility location accuracy and reliability.
