Underground Cable Location Equipment
Navigating the complex network of buried utilities requires more than just guesswork—it demands precision, reliability, and industry-leading technology. At TMG Test Equipment, we provide Australia’s most comprehensive range of underground cable locators and pipe detection tools designed to keep your team safe and your projects on schedule.

Whether you are performing a simple “safety sweep” before excavation or conducting high-precision utility mapping for a major infrastructure project, our selection of cable location gear ensures you meet BYDA (Before You Dig Australia) requirements and maintain strict compliance with safety standards.

Professional Cable Locators & Avoidance Tools
Accidental utility strikes can lead to costly repairs, project delays, and significant safety risks. Our range features the latest from industry leaders like Radiodetection, including the world-renowned C.A.T4™ and Genny4™ series for rapid avoidance and the RD7200® and RD8200® precision locators for complex utility tracing.

Precision Pipe & Cable Locators: Engineered for the professional locator, these units offer multi-frequency support and high-impact filters to pinpoint target lines in congested areas or high-interference environments.

Cable Avoidance Tools (CAT): Ideal for general construction and groundworks, these “one-button” tools are designed for simplicity and speed, ensuring a safe work area before you break ground.

Magnetic Locators: Specifically designed for finding ferrous metals like property markers, manhole covers, and iron pipes at significant depths.

Advanced Fault Location & Asset Management
Beyond simple tracing, TMG offers specialized solutions for cable fault detection and diagnostics. From A-Frames for pinpointing sheath faults to Time Domain Reflectometers (TDR) for identifying opens, shorts, and moisture ingress, we provide the tools needed to maintain and repair critical infrastructure.

For those looking to achieve DBYD Accredited Locator status, we supply the full suite of survey-grade equipment and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) systems required for professional accreditation and high-accuracy mapping.
