Sygma Solutions is the foremost provider of comprehensive training programmes in the location of underground services, and we are revolutionising the excavation industry with our cutting-edge CAT training. By equipping operatives with the necessary skills to detect underground services before commencing excavation work, we enhance safety and efficiency in construction projects.
Undertaking excavation work without proper knowledge of the location of underground services can lead to disastrous consequences. Striking a telecoms cable can result in serious disruption to businesses, but striking an electricity cable or gas pipe can be fatal. At Sygma Solutions we understand the necessity of accurate underground service location and identification.
The CAT, short for Cable Avoidance Tool, is an essential device used to locate buried utilities such as power cables, gas pipelines, and telecoms. Through comprehensive training, we ensure safe excavation practices.
Our CAT training plays a major role in minimising the risks associated with excavating near underground services. Our training courses emphasise the importance of thorough site surveys and the proper use of the CAT to identify buried utilities accurately. By training operatives in these fundamental skills, we aim to prevent accidental utility strikes, which can cause service disruptions, delays, and potential harm to workers and the environment. Investing in our training not only mitigates safety risks but also safeguards project timelines and budgets by avoiding costly incidents.
We offer a comprehensive range of courses tailored to meet the diverse needs of operatives across various industries. From basic CAT operation to advanced techniques, our company’s experienced trainers ensure that operatives gain the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently navigate underground service detection challenges. With hands-on practical exercises and interactive classroom sessions, we ensure that operatives are proficient in interpreting CAT data, understanding utility plans, and employing safe digging practices.
Sygma Solutions’ CAT training programs have become an invaluable resource for operatives engaged in excavation. By equipping professionals with the skills to accurately detect and identify underground services, we enable safer and more efficient excavation practices. With our comprehensive training solutions, construction workers can progress with confidence, knowing that potential utility strikes are minimised, and safety remains a top priority.
In the quest for secure excavation practices, our CAT training is a crucial investment for companies looking to protect their workers, avoid costly incidents, and ensure project success.
