VacMasters Vac-n-Dig System 3: The System 3 is ideally suited for fast, efficient potholing in all soil conditions, as well as for picking up directional boring mud slurry or a wide range of other vacuum clean-up tasks. This unit is the largest and most powerful of the VacMasters series.
VacMasters Vac-n-Dig System 2000: The System 2000 offers state-of-the-art technology for air digging. This is a smaller and less powerful unit, but is just as efficient on jobs which are less demanding. It also allows GeoMasters to utilize two units on one site for projects which are time sensitive.
Ground Penetrating Radar: Ground Penetrating radar is a non-destructive way of locating utilities that will not carry an electronic signal for traditional locating. We currently use both a Sensors and Software Inc. "Noggin" GPR (ground penetrating radar) with a 250mhz antenna and a "Mala GeoScience Ramac/GPR" system with a 500mhz antenna. By having two separate radars, each with different strength antennas and unique filters, we can locate utilities in a broad range of depths and soil conditions. These GPRs are used to create cross-sectional views of subsurface features and anomalies. Through, "in the field" analysis of the data collected these features can then be mapped and shown in relation to the property boundary. See a sample of the GPR data by clicking here.

RD4000T10: Radio Detection's 4000 series is a high power 10 Watt, multi-frequency transmitter. The RD4000 Receiver comes with both Passive and Active modes. The Passive modes (Power & Radio) give preliminary search capabilities without the use of an RD4000 transmitter, while the Active modes (when using an applied RD4000 transmitter signal) provide more specific target line identification. This signal can be directly connected, clamped, or induced on to a conductive target line.
Metrotech 9890 RLXT Utility Locator: Metrotech's utility location system is used for horizontally designating tonable utilities also. Again, using two pieces of equipment with unique qualities has given us a broad range of options for all your utility locating needs.
