This one-day program will cover the problems and issues that most locate staff encounter on a daily basis. We will help attendees recognize the contributing factors to the problems they encounter, and more importantly, learn what steps to take to solve them. This seminar is not just a discussion forum, but a hands-on solution to make for better locating!
This program is led by Dave Wulff of the VIVAX-METROTECH CANADA Corporation. Dave is the most widely recognized and acclaimed utility locate trainer in Canada. He has personally provided this type of training to more than 15,000 technicians from all utility types during his 30 plus years in the field.
*This program does not promote any specific brand of locating gear but promises that you’ll learn more about the way your locate gear works. He will focus on how and why they work, not on which buttons to push to turn them on. His structured approach to training is fast-paced, entertaining and meaningful; participants have told us so, year after year.*
