Pipe and Cable Locators
Utility Locating Equipment for Professionals
At Eastcom Associates, we specialize in supplying pipe and cable locators built for professionals who need precision, reliability, and field-proven results. Whether you're working in construction, telecom, power distribution, or municipal utilities, avoiding costly utility hits begins with choosing the right detection tools. We carry a full range of pipe and cable locators from trusted manufacturers like Radiodetection, Schonstedt, and Fisher—engineered for serious underground locating.
Accurate Utility Locating for Critical Infrastructure Work
Every excavation starts with the same question: What’s below? The margin for error is small, which is why technicians turn to advanced locating systems designed to separate signal from noise.
Our utility locating equipment is built for high-precision depth readings and dependable signal interpretation—even in congested underground environments. Key features include:
- Consistent depth estimation across varying soil conditions
- High-performance signal discrimination to isolate specific utility lines
- Optimized antennas and filters to reduce false positives in dense utility corridors
Models like the Radiodetection RD8200 and RD7200 are known for their intelligent signal processing—ideal for electric, telecom, gas, and water line detection across multiple frequencies.
Field-Ready Interfaces That Improve Jobsite Productivity
Locating tools aren’t just technical—they’re practical. On a loud jobsite or in low-light conditions, equipment needs to respond clearly and quickly. Our lineup includes models designed for high-pressure field work, with features that reduce user fatigue and increase operational confidence:
- Bright, high-contrast displays for visibility in direct sunlight
- Vibration feedback for confirmation in noisy environments
- Intuitive menu navigation that reduces time spent training new technicians
Quick setup, easy calibration, and responsive controls make these tools efficient for teams with tight timelines and safety-critical tasks.
Multi-Utility Compatibility for Full-Scope Projects
Most job sites involve more than one type of buried infrastructure. Our pipe and cable locators are designed to handle:
- Metallic and non-metallic pipe locating
- Live power lines and energized cables
- Tracer wires and electronic markers
- Faults in buried cables using A-frames and ground return paths
With multi-frequency transmitters and adaptive modes, these tools let you toggle between utility types without needing separate equipment—saving time and increasing ROI.
Durability for Harsh Conditions and Repeated Use
Equipment used in trenching, wet conditions, or extreme temperatures needs to perform every time. That’s why we stock locators that are:
- Built with weather-resistant enclosures
- Engineered to function without regular calibration
- Covered by leading manufacturer warranties
Whether you're working in winter conditions, humid vaults, or unpaved construction sites, models like the Pipehorn 800HL Kit are designed to last.
Smart Features and Software Integration for Modern Jobsites
Today’s locating tools aren’t just hardware—they’re digital assets. Many of our systems include built-in technology that supports asset mapping, performance tracking, and compliance documentation:
- Active and passive locating modes
- Bluetooth connectivity for real-time syncing
- Integrated data logging for post-project reporting
- Software like RD Manager™ Online for mapping and documentation
These tools help utility contractors not just locate—but record, map, and verify what they find.
Solutions for Non-Metallic Pipe and Difficult Locates
When plastic pipes or non-conductive materials are in the mix, traditional electromagnetic methods won’t cut it. We offer alternative locating systems that make sure everything is seen:
- Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) for subsurface imaging
- Traceable rodders for inserting signals into plastic conduits
- Acoustic leak and pipe detection tools for complex line tracing
Our team can help you match the right technology to the conditions on your site, so no line goes undetected.
Support, Repairs, and Expert Training
We don’t just ship equipment—we support it. From setup to ongoing maintenance, Eastcom provides technical help throughout the product’s lifecycle:
- Personalized product training for your crew
- Online video tutorials and user manuals
- In-house repair services and performance checks
If your locator needs calibration, troubleshooting, or upgrades, our service team can get it field-ready fast.
