THE DANGERS BELOW Editorial.

Amazing how time flies. Here we are at the second edition of The Dangers Below, and it feels like I have just put the final touches on the first. I am so pleased with the response from our first offering, literally dozens of congratulatory emails received, THANK YOU so much.

Because of the responses received, you will note that this edition has increased in size. Added to our usual stories:

➚ Concrete Scanning.

➚ Drones.

➚ Legal Angle.

➚ And our feature company

We have added the following sections:

➚ How utilities are put in the ground – Understanding the Network.

➚ Locating in Paradise – this Edition – Fiji.

➚ Reading Plans.

➚ EM Locating – Hints and Tips.

One bit of industry news that has hit many hard is the demise of the VAC GROUP (Vac-U-Digga, Earth Radar, Staking U). Known for years as industry leaders, the Vac Group went into receivership just before Christmas owing a reported $40 million dollars. Sad to see the assets of the once mighty, lined up at Ritchie Brothers Auctions for disposal. I feel deeply for many of the staff who worked tirelessly for the Company.

Locating Unlimited is pleased to announce that we have been able to grab the very talented trainer Gabby Johnson from Staking U and look forward to her delivering courses soon.

For the next edition, we want to start a regular” Have Your Say” section, an open forum where you can voice your opinion on any topic. Tell us about your experience with the industry; what cheeses you off, what you like, what needs improving, all comments can be anonymous if you choose.

This year is shaping up to be a very exciting year for Locating Unlimited, we have several projects underway which have been slowly progressing, but are very close to being ready to launch, watch this space, for further details.

As always, we love to hear you feedback (both positive and negative) we pride ourselves on continual improvement and can only get better by being guided by feedback. Emails can be sent to: thedangersbelow@locatingunlimited.com.au

Stay safe, work safe.
