Cable Avoidance Training That Changes How Your Operatives Work

The construction industry has a Genny problem. On most sites, most of the time, the signal generator is left in the van. Operatives default to CAT-only working because it is faster, because it is what they have always done, and because no one has ever explained to them what they are missing.

The Genny eliminates the single largest source of false confidence in utility locating: the assumption that a passive signal is a complete picture. When an operative connects a Genny signal to a known service, calibrates their search, and works through all four EML modes in sequence, they are not just looking for utilities. They are actively verifying the environment. That is a fundamentally different behaviour.

Clients who run Sygma Genny-First programmes report Genny usage increases of over 50 percentage points within three to six months of training. The numbers do not move that much unless the training has changed how operatives think, not just what they know.
