Event Calendar

The Louisiana Damage Prevention Law became effective in 1988. This law requires excavators and demolishers to call a regional notification center at least two full business days before they begin their work. The locating instruments used in this training covers a wide range of introductory to more advanced concepts on instrument use best practices, the science behind locating and various utility characteristics that can affect a locate. Just a sampling of the extensive topics covered include: the receiver, the transmitter, peak and null, signal, current, shape and endpoint, conductive and inductive locating, bleed-off and gain, creating the circuit, digital depth, near myths, maps and visual clues. Hands-on training is part of the seminar using field applications at the training site.
