Scan, Visualize, Ensure: Technology Vital to Reducing Utility Strikes
Underground utility strikes are a pain point across the construction industry. Haskell is leading the way with high-tech solutions to address the challenge.
Last year, Dysruptek became an early investor in RodRadar, an Israeli startup developing a disruptive sensor technology to detect underground hazards. This year, Haskell became the first contractor in the United States to take delivery of RodRadar’s operationalized LDR Excavate digging bucket.
Embedded in the bucket, the revolutionary Live Dig Radar® technology overcomes the limitations of existing technologies, detecting objects underground utilities during earthwork at any depth. The bucket uses standard attachment systems and can be installed on any excavator. On the surface and during trenching, LDR Excavate creates a new scan with each pass in different soils and types of substrates, consistently identifying targets in proximity to the bucket and alerting the operator to hazards without the need for expert analysis.
