Revolutionizing Underground Utility Mapping: Moving Beyond the Dangerous Legacy of the Past

Have you ever wondered why underground utility construction in the U.S. results in over 400 deaths and 2,400 injuries annually? The roots of this grim statistic trace back to the late 1800s. Consider the city of Boston in 1903 documenting its new sewer lines on hand-drawn paper drawings without providing any depth information. While perhaps sufficient for a simpler era when cities were smaller, coal-powered, and reliant on rail transportation. This documentation method worked when we had a single buried utility in the entire street, but is woefully inadequate today.

Subsequently, the early 20th century saw the rollout of electricity and natural gas through the 1920s and 1950s, respectively. As cities expanded and became more complex, the same 2D system was overstretched to include buried electricity and gas lines. This legacy approach, largely unchanged, assumed that what worked in the past for sewer lines would suffice for the future. This assumption was incorrect. Today, we contend with what are essentially "land mines" of dangerous underground electricity, natural gas, and fuel lines, often poorly documented in 2D and fraught with risk. This antiquated system calls for a transformative approach to make underground construction more efficient and protect the lives of workers.
