Problem statement
There is no compact tool to quickly and accurately determine the burial depth and actual elevation of underground pipes, leading to inaccurate field data.
Expected outcomes and success metrics
- Accurate and up-to-date underground pipe elevation data
- Reduced need for excavation or expensive surveying equipment
- Improved accuracy of water network data
Current process
Using expensive survey equipment or manual excavation.
Current solution
Using expensive survey equipment or manual excavation.
Target users and impacted teams
N/A
Data availability and readiness
Field measurement data on underground pipe depth and elevation
Integration, deployment and infrastructure
Requires development of a hardware device (GPR-lite/depth sensor). An API connection is needed for the handheld device to upload elevation data directly to the GIS system.
