Instructor: Mike App

Course Description: This training provides operators with practical, field-tested methods for identifying unknown service line materials. The session begins with a classroom overview of electrical resistance, tracer wire locating, and other verification techniques used during LSL inventories. Participants will then transition to a live demonstration of the Swordfish locating system, hosted onsite by Clear River Electric & Water. The hands-on component allows operators to see real-world applications, ask questions, and practice effective approaches to resolving unknowns. Please ask about hybrid training options.
