GNSS Innovation Keeps Utility Surveyors Safer

摘要

The ability to capture accurate points from a distance with images provides a significant leap in safety and efficiency for subsurface utility engineering. Enhanced safety is a key benefit of subsurface utility engineering (SUE). Knowing exactly what's underground and where provides crucial insight to avoid utility strikes and keep construction projects on track. But capturing SUE data requires sending people onsite, first to locate and mark the probable utilities, and then to excavate and survey precise horizontal and vertical locations for the as-built drawings and maps. For projects near roadways and other hazardous locations, that means two potential instances of road closures, project shutdowns, and putting someone in harm's way.
