Utility Detection: Underground and Unseen Structures

Urbanisation is driving the need for smart cities where utilities workers and construction professionals work smarter with digital detection data. The installation of new utility infrastructure assets to meet growing demand leads utility providers to select digitalised tools and technologies that help improve business efficiencies and ensure the reality matches the design.

That’s why at Hexagon we create detection solutions that enable 3D visualisations of the reality above and below – because what's happening underground affects what's happening above ground. By combining different technologies, we create a 3D impression of our cities, including buried infrastructure assets.

With ground-penetrating radar technology (GPR) for buried assets and laser scanning for above-ground features, you can extensively capture any environment to make the best-informed decisions.

For positioning and measurement activities, a fit-for-purpose solution is required. Hexagon provides several technologies that can improve productivity by adopting a “digital first” approach.

Hexagon offers a complete portfolio of solutions ranging from total stations, GPS/GNSS equipment to laser scanning, mobile mapping and utility mapping and detection solutions and associated software. Our unrivalled product portfolio guarantees that a solution is available to embrace digitalisation.

Hexagons’ end-to-end workflow solutions help users process, report and share information more efficiently and accurately. Our positioning, measurement and reality capture technology can dramatically improve the way data is collected, managed, visualised and shared.
