Utility detection specialists, Cable Locators Ltd, are a prominent player in the industry, they have been at the forefront of their field for an impressive 14 year’s, servicing the Greater Wellington region. Their journey has been marked by not only their commitment to excellence, but also by their involvement in shaping industry standards and practices.

This seemingly small decision has had a significant impact on the industry, making it easier for professionals to identify and locate telecom infrastructure, amidst a sea of markings.
Over the years, Cable Locators Ltd has witnessed the evolution of utility detection technology. While they see the core protocols have remained largely the same, the way they engage with clients has seen a transformation with technology. New innovations are now providing easier access to information, the emphasis has shifted towards the interpretation of utility mark outs for identification and management of specific services.
