Have Cable Faults – We can Find THEM!

Minimizing downtime due to cable faults dictates prompt repair of defects in power, control, and communications cables. First, however, defects must be located. When conductors are hidden within conduit, below cement floors or in walls as well as buried underground, this task becomes all the more difficult; as a result fault location requires specialized equipment and training.

Octagon has the expertise in the art of fault location. Using the advancements of a fault finder, coupled with state of the art electronics we are able to pin-point the fault in high and low voltage cables, including submarine cables, communication cables and broken tracer wires.

Our precision fault locators allow for only minor site disruption when repairs are necessary, as opposed to the hit and miss method often used. Not only is our method of fault location quicker and less obtrusive, but also it is less costly in the long run. We specialize in the detection of underground facilities including: telephone, power cables and communication cables.

With our equipment we can:

• Locate Cable Path
• Measure Cable or Sonde Depth with the Push of a Button
• Measure Signal Current in the Cable
• Pinpoint Sheath Faults and Cable Breaks
• Discriminate Between Light and Heavy Faults
• Identify Cable and Cable Pairs
• Identify Cable Pairs Through Wet Sections
