Over the past decades electric, gas, water, and telecom utilities have poured millions into digitalizing the graphic design/work management and GIS/records management processes. But in spite of this the decades-old as-builting process remains marred by […]
An innovative technology that is being increasingly applied to locating existing pipe networks or those installed by way of horizontal drilling is inertial or gyro locating. Using this technology, it is possible to map networks […]
A major gap in the construction process is the unavailability of reliable information about the location of underground utilities for civil engineering construction projects such as highways, railways and pipelines. Mapping underground infrastructure is benefiting […]
A major gap in the construction process is the unavailability of reliable information about the location of underground utilities for civil engineering construction projects such as highways, railways and pipelines. All states and provinces in […]
A revolution is happening in how we map new underground infrastructure. Instead of the paper as-builts submitted after the completion of construction for a new pipeline or other infrastructure, network owners may now request a […]
Since 2013 France has implemented a national damage prevention system that requires achieving 40 cm accuracy for the location of all critical underground network infrastructure prior to beginning construction. Annual statistics reveal a decreasing trend […]
Utility locates and relocation work have historically been the cause of construction delays on public construction projects, particularly in urban areas with dense population and the commensurate underground utility and telecom infrastructure. With the massive […]
A major gap in the construction process is the unavailability of reliable information about the location of underground utilities during the design stage of civil engineering construction projects such as highways and pipelines. All states […]
