Groundhawk makes underground cable mapping easy. Using the device does not require previous mapping skills. With Groundhawk your contractors who are already on-site can perform the mapping. Real-time as-built documentation is now a reality.
Challenges with underground cable mapping? You are not alone. Based on surveys and discussions with cable contractors in different countries these challenges listed underneath are familiar to all cable contractors. With Groundhawk you are able to solve them all in an instant.
Using Groundhawk is easy. Let us show you how it's done.
Open trench mapping is a more and more popular mapping method among contractors. That is no surprise as it has many benefits versus the old way of mapping. Let us explain you why.
In the yellow boxes we have demonstrated the benefits of open trench mapping. In the grey boxes you can see how underground cable mapping was done in earlier days.
With Groundhawk you are ready to step into the future of underground cable mapping and documentation.
Mapping and documents are done when trench is open. This saves time and money on the later phase of construction.
Buried cables are located afterwards. Sometimes finding them is difficult.
Solution is fast and easy to use by anyone on-site. Short training ensures the quality of mapping work.
Surveyor needs to travel to the site.
This all takes patience, time and money.
Open trench mapping is done by using 3D scanner. Accurate depth. Network elements and photos for documentation in digital format.
Map exact points with GPS stick every 10m. Depth is an estimation.
Construction quality is transparent due to lots of photos and 3D measurements.
Underground cable depth, cable protections, connection points etc. are not visible afterwards.
3D scanned trench, network element data and photos automatically taken and send.
Depth and GPS points entered manually to the system. Errors are common.
Automatically processed NIS ready data as collected from the field. Geotagged photos produced for quality documentation.
GPS points referenced with network element data in GIS software and combined with paper notes, photos from whatsapp… All done manually.
