At Sygma Solutions Ltd., we understand how critical the integrity of your Signal Generators (Gennies) and Cable Avoidance Tools (CATs) is to your safety and project success. You rely on this equipment to precisely locate underground utilities, bypass costly damages and, most importantly, save lives. That is why we are here to point out the significance of proper maintenance and calibration.
We have witnessed the end result of taking shortcuts with badly maintained equipment ourselves. Inaccurate readings are a leading cause of misidentifying utilities and potentially hazardous strikes. It is not just money; it is about protecting your employees and the public. To us, right maintenance and calibration are not just best practices but are vital duties.
Consider your CAT and Genny the same as you would any measuring instrument. Wearing parts, environmental influences, and even bumps can happen to them over a period of time. Routine calibration guarantees your gear is running in its rated tolerances, delivering you sound data. It’s best to heed the manufacturer’s recommendations on when to calibrate, but in case of uncertainty, just phone us at Sygma Solutions Ltd.
What is maintenance? It is not just wiping down the gear. It involves looking for broken cables, checking for corrosion on connectors, and making sure everything is working properly. We also recommend that you pay close attention to battery life, as low-quality batteries can give false readings.
This is where proper training enters the picture. Our CAT and Genny training courses do more than address the operational end. We also address the need for equipment maintenance. Our belief is that learning about how your equipment functions and how to properly maintain it is essential to any utility detection professional.
We at Sygma Solutions Ltd. aim to ensure that you have the knowledge and skills to use your CAT and Genny equipment effectively and safely. We realise that precise utility detection is an important skill, and that is why we offer thorough CAT and Genny Training.
By spending money on regular maintenance and calibration, you’re not just extending the life of your equipment; you’re spending money on reliability and safety. Don’t take accuracy for granted. Let us help you ensure that your CAT and Genny equipment always run at optimum levels.
Therefore, what are you waiting for? Call Sygma Solutions Ltd., and we will guide you through how to enrol in our training programmes.
