Utility mapping has become more precise and efficient as organizations adopt modern workflows that combine Geolantis with Radiodetection technologies. This integration supports field teams with real-time data capture, improved accuracy, and safer excavation planning. Through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, Geolantis provides a direct link between precision locators and the cloud, helping teams work faster and with greater confidence.

Accurate information about what lies underground remains essential for any project that involves excavation or utility work. Trial pits, sometimes referred to as test holes or trench cards, provide the most reliable method for confirming the location and depth of buried assets. They reduce the risk of strikes, delays, and rework by turning assumptions into verified information.

Field teams need equipment that provides accurate results without slowing down their workflow. The GLRM Pro GNSS receiver, engineered by General Laser and distributed by PelicanCorp, meets this expectation by combining precision, reliability, and portability in one device. When paired with Geolantis, it supports survey-grade accuracy and efficient field-to-office data handling for utilities, surveying, and infrastructure projects.

High-quality geospatial data now sits at the center of how utilities and infrastructure teams plan, build, and maintain their networks. The first step is accurate field data. The next is making sure that information moves into enterprise GIS systems without delay or loss of detail. This is where the connection between Geolantis and ESRI platforms becomes essential.

Real-time kinematic (RTK) and Networked Transport of RTCM via Internet Protocol (NTRIP) are two advanced technologies used in positioning and navigation, particularly for high-precision applications.

Accurate, up-to-date asset location is crucial for utility companies to manage and protect their infrastructure, plan effectively, and liaise with contractors. Yet despite the widespread use of digital data collection tools, many companies still use manual, paper-based processes to map their assets and to transfer data from the field to the office.

The ground under our feet is a complex network of tunnels, pipes, and cables. All of these are providing essential services, whether it’s high-speed broadband internet, electricity, water, or gas. Anyone attempting any form of work must have accurate information of what and where the cables are.

Field data collection is an essential component for many field workers across multiple industries. Industries such as utilities, survey companies, airports, local governments, and others must always monitor and maintain the health of their assets. Many of these industries have assets spread across large areas, even cities, and countries. Naturally, the manual process of collecting data about every asset is challenging.

As more and more utilities turn to Collecting & GIS solutions, these products continue to evolve from primary data collection to advanced analysis tools used for operations and planning.

The objective is to lower costs and improve customer service. Still, a lot goes into every application to develop a trustable data model that utilities can use effectively.
