HAVmeter survives coldest winter since 1914
March 1st 2010

As construction of the M74 Completion is now well underway and the snow is finally melting, an unexpected item has emerged from the depths of an excavation. After enduring over two months of complete submersion in 2ft of frozen mud and icy water, a lone HAVmeter has been rescued.

Davie Teasdale – site foreman at Interlink M74 Project – says he simply recharged the meter on the Basestation and found that despite being completely submerged for months, it was still fully functioning.

"I couldn't believe the HAVmeter could survive those conditions.

When we saw it slip into a flooded cavity, we thought we'd never see it again. Then when we found it two months later, we took it out, wiped it down, and carried on using it!"
