PipeHawk sells two more ground penetrating radar units to UKAEA
27 March 2002: PipeHawk plc, the AIM-quoted manufacturer of ground penetrating
radar products, is pleased to announce the sale of two further PipeHawk II units
to the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). It brings the total number of
PipeHawk units ordered by the UKAEA to three, with a total value of £90,000.
The PipHawk II system is used to locate current and disused utilities services
and other sub-surface objects, thus ensuring safe digging during excavation
work.
PipeHawk Managing Director Mike Bushell said: 'We are delighted to have received
these additional orders from the UKAEA, which reflect a high level of confidence
in our technology from a client who operates to rigorous quality standards. In
particular, we are aware that the UKAEA sets a high priority on health and
safety procedures. It underlines the potential for future sales of PipeHawk II
to major facility operators like the UKAEA in addition to our established
customer base of contractors and sub-contractors.'
The first of the new units will be deployed at the UKAEA Harwell site in Didcot,
Oxon, a former World War II airfield and nuclear research establishment now
being transformed into a science and technology business centre. The second is
being used at Dounreay on the north coast of Scotland for sub-surface detection
during maintenance and construction work
