Groundhawk eliminates red-line papers, post-work guesswork, and unnecessary manual effort.

Groundhawk cables on map

The map displays the planned and as-built routes, including site photos
and available cadastral data.

    • Accurate location measurement of cables X, Y, Z (m above sea level)
      and relative depth D (cm from ground level).​

    • Position measurement of several cables at the same time
      (joint construction).

    • Accurate location measurement of protections
      (gutter, pipe, SRE, concreting, etc.) where they start and end.
Point cabinet Groundhawk
Verify points like cabinets, poles, marker balls, connections in real time.

  • Switch cabinets and numbers.​

     

  • Extension points, probes, undercuts, poles, wells, transformers, etc.
Geotagged photos Groundhawk
Capture photos before starting and after completing the work.

  • All cable protection within the open trench.

  • A full overview of the cable duct.​

  • Post-documentation.
Compatable formats Groundhawk
Groundhawk supports over 50 network owner formats already and can add specific formats based on request*.

  • Example of supported file formats: DXF, Geopackage, GT, PIH, TKY, SOSI, KMZ etc.

  • Network operator code lists.

  • Local coordinate systems. 

  • Browsing images on the map (KMZ file).

  • API access for automated intergrations,
    and NIS systems etc.


    * A specific data format for a network owner consists of 4 things: 1. Data file format (e.g. DXF), 2. Coordinate system (typically EPSG code), 3. Height system (if Z required), 4. Network operator codelist conversion (e.g. cabinet = layer name or code number). New network formats can be added upon request, according to  provided data format specification.Data can also be accessed via APIs.

Precise underground data that infrastructure owners, contractors, and utilities rely on across Europe

How Groundhawk works

Want to see Groundhawk in action?

Groundhawk's 3D scanning and AI-driven reality capture transforms how underground fiber and electricity networks are mapped and documented. With Groundhawk, 3D as-built mapping is captured in real-time by the contractor already on worksite. This improves work quality, reduces errors, and enhances the efficiency of the entire organisation.

Book an online demo session with us and you'll discover how contractors across the Europe are using real-time 3D scanning technology for surveying and documentation.

 ”Cable trenching projects are documented in real time, giving us precise records for future reference.” ​

 ”Fiber trenching jobs are fully mapped and photographed, eliminating guesswork during maintenance.” 

 ”Whether working on fibre trenching in urban streets or rural areas, it delivers clear, as-built documentation." ​

 ”Underground utility mapping is now quick, accurate process that meets compliance and client requirements.” ​

 ”During fiber rollout phases, our contractors can use Groundhawk to record every step." ​

 ”Groundhawk’s real-time capture tools keep fibre rollout documentation precise.” ​

 ”By scanning each section of cable trenching, Groundhawk speeds up project handover." ​

 ”In fiber trenching, Groundhawk ensures that all work is documented to industry standards." ​

 ”When handling fibre trenching jobs, our contractors rely on Groundhawk." ​

 ”Groundhawk supports our underground utility mapping by providing 3D visuals and accurate data." ​

One workflow. End to end.

Plan. Build. Quality.

Import existing drawings into the Groundhawk Portal or start from scratch. Mark routes, set points, and build the picture in just a few clicks, before construction even starts. Track every point on site with clear statuses: Built, Needs Fix, In Review, Completed. Notes and annotations happen directly on the map, right where the work is. One single task list, updated in real time.

With Groundhawk you 3D scan the trench in seconds. High precision GPS positioning and advanced AI makes mapping precise and the device easy to use - by anyone already onsite.

Mapping of cables and protection


  • Accurate location measurement of cables X, Y, Z (m above sea level) and relative depth D (cm from ground level).​
    ​
  • Position measurement of several cables at the same time (joint construction).​
    ​
  • Accurate location measurement of protections (gutter, pipe, SRE, concreting, etc.) where they start and end.

Compatible data formats


  • Supports the most common file formats such as DXF, TKY, KLI, GeoJSON and more.​

  • Supports network operator code lists.
    ​​
  • Supports local coordinate systems.
    ​
  • Browsing images on the map (KMZ file).

Points of Interest


  • Switch cabinets and numbers.​

  • Extension points, probes, undercuts, poles, wells, transformers, etc.

Key enabling technologies:
High precision GPS positioning and advanced AI

Real-time as-built documentation with geo-tagged photos of the whole trench and each network element. Precise accuracy.

The risk for human error is reduced as advanced 3D modelling, machine vision, and precise positioning take place in the background.

Recognised for innovation and excellence,
we’re proud to be making headlines

 ”Industry estimates suggest inaccurate or outdated records of underground cables and pipes contribute to more than €100bn in damage globally each year, alongside delays and safety risks." ​

 ”A Finnish infrastructure software technology company transforms how underground utilities are mapped and documented.” ​

 ”The company’s technology combines high-precision satellite positioning, 3D scanning, and AI analytics.” 

 ”Unlike traditional surveying methods that require specialised personnel and separate site visits, Groundhawk is designed for ease of use directly within existing construction teams." ​

 ”Groundhawk enables crews and project managers to verify that cables, ducts, and connection points are installed correctly before the site is closed.” ​

 ”Beyond cost savings, Groundhawk’s technology delivers measurable environmental benefits." ​

 ”Groundhawk is addressing the  more than 20% efficiency waste that currently impacts infrastructure construction.” ​

 ”All data synchronises in real time to a cloud platform, giving network owners precise visibility and an accurate map of their entire new underground network." ​

 ”The system enables construction teams to digitise underground cables and grids with centimetre-level accuracy while trenches are open." ​

 ”Instead of passive documentation produced after a project is completed, Groundhawk turns mapping into an active quality-assurance process, helping teams detect and correct errors immediately." ​
