Underground Cable Tracing.

Zoomup

An P.V.C./P.V.C.  cable is run in steel conduit underground from a farm barn to another location. It may run underground to some nearby concrete slabs previously used as a base for wooden sheds, or it may run for about 80 metres to some distant  derelict outbuildings.

I am not too familiar with all of the types of underground cable tracers available.

Which would be the best type of cable tracer to use to determine its run? There may be other buried metal to confuse some tracers. Will a signal injected into the cable be able to be detected by a cable tracer as the cable in inside steel conduit?

The cable is currently dead.

Thanks,

Z.

    A local restaurant used to have cutlery with a knobbly bit in the middle that allowed them to pivot on the polished wood tables.

    Having been dropped into the cutlery box many times they had become magnetic and would swing to point north when the tables were laid, playing with them  Kept the kids amused whilst waiting for meals.

    There’s all sorts of little oddities if you keep your eyes open, some easily explainable, some not.
