Utilities are essential services provided by organizations to the public. Performance Wire & Cable takes pride in providing products for various industries, including:
- Gas
- Oil
- Sewer
- Telecommunications
- Water
A common product amongst these industries is underground tracer wire, or copper locating wire. With its ability to help industries locate pipes and other underground systems, it speeds up the process of defining the systems. This wire makes it possible to find these systems later using specialized equipment, ensuring safe digging and preventing accidental damage. The ability to locate a pipeline or wire system significantly reduces on-site time and increases the efficiency of maintenance and repair work.
Tracer Wire for Underground Utility Systems
Laying tracer wire can be a crucial step when setting up an underground utility system. Without it, locating a damaged utility can be difficult and costly. If a utility is damaged and cannot be quickly located, repairs can become far more expensive and time-consuming than if a tracer wire had been installed at the outset.
While tracer wire is widely used in the utility industry, it is also essential in other applications such as directional drilling, irrigation systems, and golf course sprinkler systems. Essentially, anywhere underground systems exist, tracer wire can help minimize the disruption and excavation required to address issues, ensuring faster, more efficient repairs.
