Before any excavation begins, it's critical to accurately locate and identify pipelines and utilities. But how often have you found yourself wondering, "Is that actually metal pipe, or did I hit something else, like a big rock?" Sure, you have a variety of tools at your disposal, such as construction maps, drawings and alignment sheets, as well as the age-old probe rod. But how can you be even more confident that you have accurately located metal pipe? And what about the possible damage your probe rod can leave on the pipe coating, or even the pipe itself?

Now, with Point Guard and its patented sensor technology, pipeline operators and maintenance crews have an additional tool to help identify metal pipe, all while providing confidence that any damage to the pipe will be greatly mitigated. Plus, with this instrument you can greatly decrease the time it takes to find your metallic pipe, allowing you to get to work on the project even faster. After all, your time is money.

The Point Guard allows you to:

• Minimize damage to coating by verifying pipe or rock before hammering on the probe rod.
• Accurately locate and identify pipelines before and during excavation with greater confidence than ever.
• Use in combination with above ground pipe locators to enhance excavation safety.

At the site of anticipated excavation, begin by using a standard 1/2" probe rod. At the very first indication of an object, remove the probe rod and insert Point Guard. The Point Guard has been designed and built to be rugged and water resistant; however, in order to maximize life of the sensor protector tip, it should not be used as the primary probing tool.

Once the sensor technology comes in close proximity with any metal, an indicator light will immediately light up, giving you the extra reassurance that you've accurately located the buried metallic pipe. The Point Guard sensor will detect metal through various coatings including wax, enamel, and epoxy coatings up to 250 mils thick. An additional feature is depth of cover markings engraved on the standard 6 foot instrument, making measuring depth of cover simple.

Additionally, Point Guard is water resistant and works using two standard 9-volt batteries. And its battery health detector ensures that you are always up and running. Each Point Guard comes with 2 extra replaceable polymer tips.
