Finland has not been the biggest basketball country in the world but in 2022 the Finnish basketball phenomenon Lauri Markkanen, broke through big time into the sharpest elite of the NBA. Congratulations, Lauri!

Lauri Markkanen came into my mind when I was crunching the data and wrapping up the year 2022 at work. With my colleagues, we have been developing further a solution that makes mapping and 3D scanning more precise, easier, and more affordable than any other solution in the market.

Groundhawk: The Lauri Markkanen of your tool kit?

Like Lauri Markkanen has been able to make it big in the NBA, the year 2022 has been game-changer for us at Advian as well. Groundhawk has been able to breakthrough internationally and is now used by many European cable contractors.

Just like how Markkanen is now a key player on the Utah Jazz team, the Groundhawk is a key player for contractors and project managers. It has the skills and capabilities to take your underground cabling projects to the next level, ensuring accuracy and efficiency every step of the way.

The idea with Groundhawk is that you don’t have to be Lauri Markkanen of cable mapping to be able to use the device and conduct the mapping. In a matter of fact, Groundhawk makes it easy for anyone on site to conduct the mapping. And that way, this hand-held device based on a precision GPS positioning system aided by advanced AI, has really revolutionized the way underground cable mapping and documentation is done.

In the past year, the Groundhawk has been used at over 500 construction sites in four countries: Finland, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. There are over 200 users and together they have been mapping over 300 km of trenches, showcasing its widespread adoption and effectiveness.

Markkanen's precise shooting and rebounding skills are essential to his team's success, and so has the Groundhawk's precise positioning and advanced AI made it a valuable tool for contractors and project managers. In both cases, precision and effectiveness seems to be the key for success.

Markkanen is known for his strong shooting ability and versatility on the court, Groundhawk is known today for its real-time mapping capabilities and high-quality documentation.

With Groundhawk you can map the underground cable trench during the construction phase and in real-time, allow project managers to track the progress of their projects. Groundhawk also captures detailed documentation with geo-tagged photos of the entire trench and each network element, making it easy for project managers to keep their customers informed on the progress of the project.

So, why 3D scan and map critical underground infrastructure precisely at the first place? Well, if you're working with infrastructure construction, you most probably know how often cables and pipes are not where someone documented them to be and often they are accidentally cut causing a lot of extra costs. Mapping in open trench is the first step in securing you know where the cables are.

If you want to join the club of contractors that have already experienced the benefits of the Groundhawk, don't hesitate to contact me. We can organize a pilot project where you and your team can try Groundhawk in action. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to join the winning team!
