At Sygma Solutions, we are well-known throughout the UK as the foremost provider of training courses in the area of location of underground services. Indeed, our team has a combined experience of over 100 years in the location and identification of them, so we know everything that there is to know. We also supply and service the Mala GPR equipment, so we have hands-on experience of those from the ground up – literally!
We have been providing courses at our offices in Wigan for many years combined with onsite training and practice in the use of the various tools – the CAT, Genny, and GPR – so that our students are able to take advantage of our expertise. Let’s face it: the use of these tools not only requires a total understanding of what they can do and how they do it, but it is also essential to understand that they do have certain limitations. So, for instance, under certain conditions, a CAT may show that there is nothing on the site that you have just surveyed, when in fact there is.
A very simple example of this could be the depth of the service. Some tools can only read down to a certain depth, so if the service is below this it will show as nothing there. Our courses cover what to do in these situations.
You may well remember that, back in 2020 we had Covid. What this meant was that it was not possible for people to meet up in a classroom in order to learn the principles of underground searches. However, that did not mean that operatives did not need training, so we very quickly produced classes of online cable avoidance training. This meant that operatives could continue to attend the classes without physically being present.
The classes were run by our experts using a system which meant that attendees could ask questions and get answers in the same way as if they were physically present. Our online cable avoidance training proved so popular that we just carried on using it.
That means that, today, you can learn all of the classroom teaching from your own home or office. It saves you all of the costs associated with staying away from home for four or five days, but you still learn all the tricks of the trade.
Of course, you do need to carry out the practical part of the work on site, so you can come to us at Wigan for this, or in many instances we can come to you. Call us to discuss your requirements.
