Problem
Utilities and construction firms face challenges in accurately mapping underground conduits and pipes, leading to increased capital and operational costs due to unknown conditions, inaccurate as-builts, and potential damage during installation or maintenance. Traditional methods often lack precision in capturing the X, Y, and Z coordinates, making it difficult to assess bend radius and identify existing damages. This can result in project delays, increased locates, and unnecessary relocations.
Solution
Intelligent Mapping provides a 3D mapping system that delivers survey-grade accuracy for underground infrastructure. The system uses a device and proprietary software to create three-dimensional maps of conduits and pipes, capturing X, Y, and Z coordinates. This allows for precise "as-built" documentation, bend radius evaluation to prevent cable installation issues, and accurate damage pinpointing. The data is transmitted to a secure cloud platform, providing real-time access to mapping data via mobile and desktop applications, enabling better decision-making and cost savings for field engineers, operational staff, and C-suite executives.
Target Audience
The primary customers are data centers, oil and gas operators, power companies, telecommunications firms, and sewer and water utilities that require accurate mapping of their underground infrastructure.
