Technology Delivering Productivity

RodRadar Live Dig Radar has landed in the UK!

Exclusive to MDIG – Live Dig Radar® has officially landed in the UK!

Real-time, on site, underground infrastructure alerts – minimise your Utility strikes!

Developed by RodRadar, Live Dig Radar® (LDR) is the first-ever ground penetrating radar (GPR) integrated into the excavator’s digging bucket.

LDR technology overcomes existing GPR limitations, detecting underground utilities during excavation at any depth including shallow ones. On the surface and during trenching, LDR creates a new scan with each pass, consistently identifying targets only in proximity to the bucket.

This breakthrough solution enhances the safety and efficacy of digging, construction, and earthworks operations, reducing the enormous costs and environmental impact associated with everyday accidental damage.

aimed at understanding and maximising the benefits of machine control on the job site.

Specialising in machine control, surveying, and software the training is available through any
browser with an internet connection.

Completely online and accessible 24 hours a day, the training can be completed when convenient

Suitable for beginners looking to get up to speed quickly or an experienced professional wanting to
brush up their knowledge, each course enables operators to take full advantage of the equipment’s
capabilities to help improve workflow in the field or back at the office.

The first course available is a free taster: Introduction to Machine Control – establishing the core

This is followed by training for intelligent Machine Control machine operators – excavators and
dozers. These courses concentrate on the positive and unique traits of the intelligent Machine
Control systems and its effective and efficient operation. Learning is done through a variety of
styles – with Q & A, videos and interactive exercises.

New courses coming soon include Topcon 3D MC for dozers and excavators and Leica MC1 for
Dozer and Excavators. A Training App using the same login details will also be available soon
enabling all courses to be completed via a Smart Phone, offering even more flexibility and ease of
