Objectives Stage 2 of this Project continues the feasibility study by building a small array with representative custom electronics, with the objective of detecting and discriminating difficult to detect pot ended cables at a minimum depth of 500mm.In summary, this consists of; System design, Mechanical design of a 5 element array, electronics design, printed circuit board layout and small scale manufacture of a number of units, embedded software design and testing to excite the array and transfer captured data to a PC for analysis and a detailed report on findings and next steps. The building of a small array with the objective of detecting and discriminating difficult to detect pot ended cables at a minimum depth of 500mm.Stage 2 consists of:-System Design-Mechanical Design of a 5 element array-Electronics Design, printed circuit board layout and small scale manufacture of 2 units-Embedded software design and testing to excite the array and transfer captured data to a PC for analysis-Creation of summary report on findings and next steps-Key outputs include interim and final presentations to report on Stage 2 findings and feasibility, including supporting documents and test pieces. The objective of this Project is to determine the technical feasibility of the concept as a means of detecting and discriminating “difficult to detect” utilities at a depth of at least 500mm.
