In 2005 Vivax was established by a professional design team already experienced in the successful design, manufacture, and sales of utility locators, pipeline current mappers (PCM), pipe inspection camera systems, directional drilling locators, and other underground utility protection products.

Over the course of 2009, Metrotech and Vivax merged to form a single company, Vivax-Metrotech Corporation. Together the combined companies products are used by virtually every utility market throughout the world.
