The RD1000 utilizes ground-penetrating radar technology in locating underground pipe and cable. Intended for utility work and other surveying applications, the RD1000 is able to generate a topographically accurate image of underground features on its built-in LCD screen. Since it does not rely on electromagnetism, the locator is able to find plastic-based pipes as well. Radiodetection; 877-247-3797; www.radiodetection.com

The Aquasonic Water-atomizing Fire Suppression System is able to spray millions of microscopic water droplets over a wide area. Its water-atomizer nozzles use supersonic waves to spread the water into a low-pressure sheet and then spray it downward in a conical shape. Aquasonic uses significantly less water than other water-mist systems, with only three gallons of water required to douse an area of 88,800 sq ft in one minute. The environmentally friendly system requires only water and nitrogen to operate. Tyco Fire Suppression & Building Products; 715-735-7411; www.ansul.com

Levelrock CSD Early Exposure underlayment can be poured up to 60 days before installation of windows and doors in above-freezing conditions, and up to 30 days before in below-freezing temperatures. It is designed for buildings with light-gauge steel-frame construction and can be applied directly over corrugated steel decks. The underlayment has compressive strengths from 3,500 psi to 5,000 psi and can be applied at a lower thickness than poured-in-place concrete, with a typical pour thickness of 19⁄16 in. on a 9⁄16-in. deck. It is up to 55% lighter than 3 in. of concrete and the manufacturer says its self-sealing quality typically eliminates the need to seal underlayment prior to floor covering.
