If Carlsberg did Utility Location Training!

If Carlsberg did Utility Location Training!

We had a Sygma team meeting today, for us delivering consistent top quality training in utility location is our priority.

Looking back on today’s meeting I don’t think I have ever been so proud, 8 people dedicated to delivering to the absolute best of their ability and a passion to share knowledge in utility location and strike reduction.

Our team is the BEST in the business.

I have said this many times, this isn’t your ordinary “CAT & Genny course” this is about changing behaviours, changing habits and changing the mindset of operatives using this kit.

We focus on:

·     Myth Busting! Why using a CAT without a Genny is just NOT GOOD ENOUGH? 

·     Giving the science behind it

·     Its Cable Location NOT AVOIDANCE!

·     NOT just about using the kit but how to apply it to a real site!

·     Zig Zag Scans..  Seriously? Out dated and ineffective ! 


Typically “cable avoidance training” consist of operatives being trained to use Power & Radio first. If they don’t find what they need to find they are then instructed to use the Genny.

This is absolute nonsense….. 

It is the equivalent to me entering a dark pitch-black room to look for something, then after 5 minutes of searching, realising I can’t find it so turning the light on.

Wouldn’t it be better to simply turn the light on when I first entered the room?

With Utility Location we teach delegates to use the Genny FIRST! Actively locate services, exhaust connection, clamp, induction before we attempt a power & radio scan.

Through proper training, delivered by experienced and passionate individuals we can change behaviours and instil in others the passion we have about utility location rather than utility avoidance.

We are 

  • ESUSR Approved
  • CITB Approved
  • TSA Approved
  • CICES Approved 
  • ProQual Approved 

Even our little sausage dog approves!

But that means nothing if the course content isn’t bang on and the people delivering it are not the best in the business. 

Thankfully at Sygma we have a full house.

If you want to learn more come and join us at our completely free of charge session on the 30thMay 

Titled “ Location NOT Avoidance” this session will show you how a shift in behaviour is possible with the right training.
