I am in the process of connecting power to my shed which is about 50 metres from the switch board on the house. There is already a length of empty 32 mm diameter conduit installed underground that was intended for a previous development that never happened. I have access to the shed end of the conduit, but its not known what happens at the house end. Ive potholed the obvious locations without finding the conduit.
It would save me a lot of effort if I can reuse part or all of this conduit, but I need to find its location near the house. I was wondering if anyone has used a radio method of detecting buried conduit like the following:
Fox and Hound, wire tracer
I should be able to push some steel wire up the conduit, inject a signal to the wire and then wander around the surface with a radio to detect the signal. The depth of the conduit would be no deeper than 600 mm throughout.
