Trying to find a design for a empty conduit tracer. We've dug at a
couple of places at the 501c3 where it was "supposed to go", NG. Seems
to me this is a simple widget for energizing a test wire in the conduit
or some sort of mouse - LF or magnetic placed on the end of a snake.
Some googling hasn't found a design so hoping a towertalkian has a
design or link to one that works. This 2" conduit was installed some
time ago at 24" depth but where it routes is now lost.
The commercial tracers are $3000. My budget is more like $20. The
usual AM radio and dongle SDR's are available.
You can rent them. Last time I did this (10 yrs) ago it was like
$40/day. My gas line has a wire wrapped around it to facilitate
detection. They have a pod that puts a tone on a wire, and the detector
(basically a metal detector) will find it.
Or call the "dig alert" and they come out and do it (for a subsidized fee)
