PIPEHAWK SALES SUCCESS Mar 2002


PipeHawk are delighted to announce the sale of two PipeHawk II Ground Probing Radar Systems to the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). This follows on from a previous order, bringing the total number of systems now being used by the organisation to three.

The first of the new units will be deployed at the UKAEA Harwell site in Didcot. Formerly an RAF airfield during the second world war before becoming a nuclear research establishment, the site is now being restored and progressively transformed into a science and technology business centre.
The PipeHawk ground probing radar system is being used to locate current and disused utilities services and other subsurface objects, thus ensuring safe digging during excavation work.

The second of the units is being used at the UKAEA Dounreay for the detection of subsurface utilities and other objects as part of the maintenance of the ongoing utilities infrastructure. In addition the PipeHawk II System is being used as part of a decommissioning programme similar to the work being carried out at the Harwell site.
