In 2005, Vivax was founded by a skilled design team with extensive experience in successfully designing, manufacturing, and selling utility locators, pipeline current mappers (PCMs), pipe inspection camera systems, directional drilling locators, and other underground utility protection products.
Throughout 2009, Metrotech and Vivax merged to become a single company, Vivax-Metrotech. The products of the combined companies are used by nearly every utility market worldwide.
Building on the brand recognition of a well-known name like Metrotech and the proven design expertise of Vivax, the combined company Vivax-Metrotech leverages the strengths of both groups by bringing together first-class management, industry-proven leadership, innovative designs, and cutting-edge engineering, technologies, and materials. It also includes an established, experienced sales team and a strong distribution network. Vivax-Metrotech quickly became the industry leader in design and innovation within the utility locating segment.
In 2018, Vivax-Metrotech introduced the next generation of locators featuring industry-exclusive 3D Triaxial antenna technology. This antenna technology renders the outdated peak-and-null methods obsolete. The 3D Triaxial antenna can detect the locate signal regardless of antenna orientation and can even locate pipes and cables when the receiver is not directly over the utility. This Vector mode is perfect for applications where the utility is on a busy street. It indicates how far to the left or right the utility is and how deep it is. This technology makes utility locating much safer—what used to be unsafe with peak-and-null methods is now a very safe process, keeping the technician out of harm's way.
Vivax-Metrotech's worldwide headquarters, sales and marketing, and engineering and design labs are located in Santa Clara, CA, USA. Additional design offices are situated in Exeter, UK, while manufacturing facilities are in Santa Clara, CA, USA; Penang, Malaysia; and Shanghai, China. All manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 certified.
Once in a while, a company emerges that transforms an industry. VIVAX-METROTECH is that company. The vLoc3-Pro represents the latest in comprehensive underground utility-locating and GNSS-mapping equipment. Its new multi-core processing engine offers fast, accurate, reliable, and consistent locate data. The large 4.3-inch high-visibility color LCD, twin 3D Triaxial antenna technology, and innovative features like "Vector Mode" and "Plan-View Mode" make the vLoc3-Pro the new industry standard for years to come. Best of all, a dedicated customer support team backs every VIVAX-METROTECH product. Tracer Electronics LLC is an authorized distributor and warranty repair center for VIVAX-METROTECH.
The vCam-6 HD video pipe inspection camera has brought High Definition video to the pipe inspection industry, providing top-tier features, legendary performance, and affordable prices. Like all VIVAX-METROTECH products, its customers and their experiences have greatly shaped its design through extensive field use.
