HSG47 Training From Sygma Solutions

One of the most vital things to do before carrying out any sort of digging work on any type of project is to undertake a thorough survey of the site in order to ascertain what, if any, utilities are buried below the surface of the ground, and if so, what they are, and how deep they are.

Our CAT Training Courses Are Essential For Locating Underground Services

When you plug your mobile phone into the socket on the wall to recharge it, switch on your air fryer, or fire up your laptop, everything works absolutely perfectly. What we never think about is what is happening. Sure, it’s electricity, but so what?

You can’t connect to the electricity without it first being produced and then supplied to your property by miles and miles of cables. In this case, it has been estimated to be anywhere between 1.5 million and 2.5 million miles of them – all of which run under the ground to get to your home and those of everyone else in the UK.

C.Scope Training From Sygma Solutions

At Sygma Solutions we are regarded as the foremost provider of training in the UK in the location of underground services. Our team has over 100 years of combined experience in the use of the various tools that are required to carry out such work, and this includes manufacturing and servicing, and calibration when required. Of course, we keep up to date on all of the latest products as well, because manufacturers don’t stand still.

CAT Training: Why Is It Important?

Cable strikes can be fatal for the operatives working at the site, the service users, and the service providers. A little professional CAT training can put an end to all possible hazards. Sygma Solutions has been devoted to providing interested people just that for years. With proper training, we have succeeded in operatives and utility engineers to avoid cable strike risks.

The ProQual Level 2 Award In Utility Avoidance

The ProQual Level 2 Award in Utility Avoidance and the Location of Buried Services in Construction is aimed at site managers, supervisors, and excavation operatives in order that they have an understanding of the avoidance of danger from striking underground services. The awarding body is the ProQual Awarding Body which comes under the regulating body which is Ofqaul (the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation).

Before Digging On A Construction Project It Is Essential To Carry Out A Survey

When undertaking any type of digging on a construction project, or for that matter any other project, one has always to remember that, in the UK, and pretty much everywhere else, all of the utility services that we need run underground. From one point of view that is great because it means that the landscape is not cluttered up with cables and pipes running all over the place because they are out of sight.

The Foremost UK Provider Of Training For The Location Of Underground Services

Sygma Solutions is the foremost UK provider of training in the use of the CAT and Genny and GPR for the location of underground services. Our CAT training courses leave nothing to chance and cover the use of the CAT and Genny in all modes. Most importantly, we go into detail about the limitations of the CAT and Genny, as it is critical to understand them in order to avoid making errors. There can be reasons why they might return an apparent negative result when in fact there is a service on the site, so it is essential to take that into account.

Our Courses Teach Everything You Need To Know About Underground Surveying

Whether it is your home or your business, there will be a lot of underground services running into it – water, electricity, telecoms, fibreoptics, possibly gas, and more, and there will also be sewage pipes and wastewater leaving it. All right, some telecoms still use old-fashioned telegraph poles, but most are underground. All this is fine and keeps our green and pleasant land just that – green and pleasant.

Sygma Solutions Can Provide Training In The Use Of The C.Scope Tools

When it comes to the necessity for construction businesses, utility providers, landscape contractors, and many more, who need to carry out any form of excavation work, it is vital that they carry out a thorough survey of the land on which they are going to dig.

Do You Know Exactly Where The Electricity Cable Comes Into Your Home?

Most people who have a home with a back garden, and perhaps a front garden as well, don’t give a moment’s thought when it comes to digging in their veg plot, or uprooting a shrub to replace it with something else. They just go ahead and get on with it. In most cases, that is fine, but there can always be an issue about striking utilities, nearly all of which run underground.
