Welcome to the ORFEUS Project
What is the ORFEUS project
ORFEUS was a full scale EU-financed demonstration project aiming at progressing the previously developed Horizontal Directional Drilling drill tip Radar that was proven under the preceding project entitled “Optimised Radar to Find Every Utility in the Street” to a commercial stage. The EU project completed in March 2015, for further information on the ORFEUS system contact info@orfeus.org
