Utility Mapping with Drone Technology
Utility mapping using drones provides a highly efficient and accurate method for capturing above-ground and surface-level data essential for utility locating and infrastructure planning. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, LiDAR, and advanced GPS systems, drones can quickly survey large areas while minimizing disruption to active sites. The aerial perspective allows for the identification of utility features, surface indications, and site conditions that may not be visible from ground level. Data collected by drones can be integrated with subsurface locating results to create comprehensive, detailed utility maps that enhance safety, improve planning, and reduce project delays.
Hand-Drawn Utility Mapping
Hand-drawn utility mapping offers a practical, flexible, and highly visual way to document existing utility lines and infrastructure in the field. By overlaying utility data directly onto aerial imagery or site layouts, these maps provide a clear representation of underground and surface-level utilities, including water, gas, electric, telecom, and sewer lines. This method allows for real-time field adjustments, notations, and quick identification of conflicts or design issues. Hand-drawn maps are especially valuable during preliminary planning, field verification, and coordination meetings, offering a simple yet effective tool to communicate utility locations to contractors, engineers, and project stakeholders
Utility Mapping with Geode Connect Satellite Technology
Using Geode Connect satellite technology, we deliver highly precise GPS positioning to support utility mapping and infrastructure documentation. The Geode’s sub-meter accuracy allows for detailed, reliable location data of underground and surface utilities, minimizing guesswork and improving mapping confidence. By integrating satellite-based positioning with traditional locating methods, we create accurate, GIS-compatible maps that streamline planning, reduce excavation risks, and enhance safety for construction and utility projects. Geode Connect provides a cost-effective and field-proven solution for capturing real-time, high-accuracy geospatial data
