Vivax-Metrotech vLoc3-Cam Sonde Locator
Locating sondes or push cameras can often be a nerve-racking task due to ghost signals, deep depths and interference from rebar in concrete. The vLoc3-Cam Sonde Locator from Vivax-Metrotech eliminates these challenges with advanced filtering and omnidirectional antenna technology, making sonde locating faster, easier and more accurate. A bright, full-color graphical display provides clear directional arrows guiding the user toward the sonde. Once positioned directly above it, a large sonde icon and depth reading confirm the locate. In Pushrod Trace Mode, a second screen enables tracing of the pushrod’s path deployed inside the pipe — or tracing utilities — using an optional portable transmitter. Additionally, passive locate modes for Power and Radio detect the presence of energized power lines, CATV, telephone and metallic pipes radiating 60 Hz from nearby or overhead sources. 800-446-3392; www.vivax-metrotech.com

Pipeline Leak Detection
Schonstedt RD510
The RD510 from Schonstedt is purpose-built to help utility crews quickly pinpoint leaks in water pipes where traditional methods fall short. Using a Pulsed Water Transmitter, the system introduces an acoustic signal into the pressurized line. Escaping water creates distinct sound signatures that can be detected even when pipes cannot be traced electrically. A ground microphone with a telescopic pole captures sound variations caused by leaks and transmits them to a handheld display. The unit includes a color touchscreen that provides visual and audio feedback, along with noise reduction filters for use in areas with traffic or environmental interference. The system can detect leak noise at depths up to 16 feet and along pipe sections up to approximately 148 feet, depending on material and ground conditions. In addition to leak pinpointing, the acoustic signal can help trace pipes when maps or tracer wires are unavailable. 800-999-8280; www.schonstedt.com
