🌎 Global Connections. A Shared Purpose.
At the Global Damage Prevention Summit in Nashville, CERTLOC CEO Robert Row caught up with long-time industry colleague Mike Parilac — Founder of Staking University and Planet Underground TV.

Both Robert and Mike have spent many years working in and contributing to the damage prevention industry.

Over that time, both have developed a strong understanding of the challenges facing the industry and a genuine desire to use their experience to make a positive difference.

Because whether it’s through training, advocacy, education or industry collaboration, they are both committed to supporting positive change and safer outcomes across the industry.

🌎 Global Connections. Future-Focused.
Our Senior Trainer and Assessor, Steve Wood, recently caught up with Mike Parilac, Founder of Staking University, Planet Underground TV and Steve Walker, Managing Director of CSTA Global, on a visit to the United States.

It was a great opportunity to share ideas and discuss all things underground asset locating — with a particular focus on the future of training, technology and competency in our industry.

The conversation also included some exciting developments in EMF locating technology that are on the horizon. We’re always interested in what’s next and how emerging technology can support safer, more accurate underground asset location.

A great day of industry connection and collaboration, with the New York skyline providing a spectacular backdrop.

Keeping connected with global developments helps us ensure our training and certification continue to reflect where the industry is heading.

Strong locating skills start with quality training.
It was a pleasure to deliver our 2-Day Underground Asset Location Program in Sydney for the team at Infinity Engine, led by our Senior Trainer and Assessor, Steve Wood.

Designed for workers involved in underground utility locating, the program builds the knowledge, confidence and practical skills needed to accurately identify, locate and protect subsurface infrastructure before excavation or cabling works begin.

Over two days, the Infinity Engine team worked through key locating principles, equipment operation, connection methods, troubleshooting techniques and practical field exercises—all focused on developing reliable, repeatable locating practices that improve accuracy, reduce risk and strengthen safety on site.

A big thank you to Infinity Engine for their commitment to developing their team's capability and strengthening safe work practices. It was fantastic to work with such an engaged group.
