In this video from the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, Jeremy Long of Vivax-Metrotech introduces the company’s RTK Pro utility locator.

“This is going to allow you to map your utilities while you’re out there doing a locate. So we’re going to be able to push cameras out there, and the sondes will be on going through the sewer, and we’ll be able to map it out and give you an actual profile of where utilities are — where your sewer is beneath you — and send all that data up to the cloud.”

According to Vivax-Metrotech, the RTK-Pro receiver is the first to add real-time kinematic GNSS accuracy to a utility locator. Using the RTK-Pro internal cellular module with 4G LTE capabilities, the operator has the ability to connect to an NTRIP RTK caster that provides RTCM 3 corrections. By utilizing these corrections, the operator can collect both utility location data along with the geographical location of the utility with survey-grade accuracy.
