The complexity of large buried cable networks increasing continually, so it is essential to know the location of the underground cables. The use of a cable detector is standard industry practice and is a legal requirement commanded by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Cable detectors protect from the risks like Explosions, Electrocution, Damage to small cables with a significant impact on surrounding services, Site flooding, Project Downtime, Reinstatement Costs, etc. Cable detectors can detect non-ferrous and ferrous metals, plastic and wood with a high level of accuracy. Cable detection must be performed before excavation of any new Railway, Telecom, industry, Cable laying, Pipe laying, and Building construction activity.
Rapid increase in urbanisation rate is boosting the cable detector market
The number of people moving to urban areas is increasing every year due to various reasons like education, employment, etc. Urbanisation demands more number of building to be constructed to meet the requirements of increasing urban population.
Moreover, in construction industry, damaging underground communication cable can be very risky on site. Therefore, the factors like improved on site safety and cost saving in construction industry, are driving the market for cable detector.
Continuous technological advancement in telecom industry is driving the cable detector market
Rapid growth in the telecom industry has seen due to the continuously evolving technology. It is all set to witness 5G technology for increased speed, faster connectivity, and lower latency. 5G enabled devices are started to make a buzz in the market.
