Mapping Without Mistakes: Solving the Biggest Challenges in Utility Locating
Utility mapping is critical, but it’s not without its challenges. For contractors, utility providers, and locators, the risks of inaccurate data, inefficient workflows, and disconnected systems can lead to costly delays, safety incidents, and damaged infrastructure. In an industry where precision and collaboration are non-negotiable, traditional processes often fall short.
Here are the top challenges professionals face in utility mapping—and how Geolantis.360 is revolutionizing the way we work.
1. Inefficient Workflows: Time Wasted in the Field and Office
The Challenge: Legacy tools often require manual data entry, redundant processes, and post-processing work that consume valuable time. Field teams spend hours transferring data, while office teams struggle to align workflows.
The Solution: Geolantis.360 streamlines utility mapping with automated workflows that connect the field and office in real-time.
· Field teams can capture data instantly using their mobile devices.
· Data syncs seamlessly to the cloud, eliminating delays and manual transfers.
· Automated reporting tools make sharing insights with stakeholders effortless.
The Result: Faster project completion, fewer bottlenecks, and a more productive team.
2. Lack of Accurate and Reliable Data
The Challenge: Inaccurate or incomplete utility data can lead to utility strikes, costly rework, and safety hazards. Poor precision creates unnecessary risk for contractors and infrastructure owners.
The Solution: Geolantis.360 delivers centimeter-level accuracy with GNSS technology, ensuring precise utility mapping every time.
· Real-time positioning data minimizes errors in locating buried assets.
· Comprehensive metadata (e.g., depth, material, and vendor information) provides context for better decision-making.
· Offline functionality allows data collection in remote areas, ensuring no location is left unmapped.
The Result: Reliable, accurate data that reduces risk, improves safety, and saves costs.
3. Disconnected Systems: Too Many Tools, Too Little Integration
The Challenge: Teams often juggle multiple tools and systems that don’t communicate with one another. The result? Siloed information, miscommunication, and wasted resources.
The Solution: Geolantis.360 acts as a centralized platform that integrates seamlessly with your existing systems.
· Compatible with a wide range of GNSS receivers, external EM locators, and mapping tools.
· Supports main GIS formats such as CAD, GIS, Google KML/KMZ, external map services and georeferenced aerial imagery for a complete mapping workflow.
· Ensures data flows smoothly between teams, tools, and stakeholders.
The Result: Unified workflows, improved communication, and an end to disconnected systems.
4. Compliance and Documentation: Meeting Industry Standards
The Challenge: Keeping up with regulatory requirements and creating standardized reports can be overwhelming. Manual processes make compliance time-consuming and error-prone.
The Solution: Geolantis.360 simplifies compliance with automated reporting tools that generate professional, standardized documentation.
· Customizable templates ensure reports align with regulatory standards like ASCE 38-22, PAS 128, SUE.
· Easily export data to PDF, GIS, CAD formats and more, for seamless stakeholder sharing.
· Maintain a clear audit trail of utility mapping activities.
The Result: Compliance becomes a streamlined part of your workflow, not an obstacle.
