Making the Invisible Visible

Introduction

Most of us don’t think about what’s below the surface of the ground we walk or drive on, but the reality is that there’s a lot going on down there. The ground beneath our feet contains the pipes, tunnels and bre optics that deliver our everyday services such as gas, power, water and telephone.

Knowing exactly where this ‘invisible’ infrastructure is located is essential for anyone who is going to dig including construction companies, utility providers and council agencies.

Challenge

A large format rugged tablet needed to produce visibility rendered with GPR technology, for safe underground construction work.

Solution

Durabook U11I purpose-built with ruggedness and connectivity for outdoor conditions that survey work is undertaken in, and is powerful enough to run 3D mapping software.
