Understanding utility mapping - how underground assets are tracked and managed

Understanding Utility Mapping — How Underground Infrastructure Is Tracked and Managed

Beneath every city lies a complex web of underground systems — water pipelines, electrical cables, gas lines, and more. Managing these hidden assets is critical for safety, maintenance, and smart urban development.

In this video, we break down how GIS and CAD technologies work together to make that possible:

✅ Detection of underground assets using GPR, GPS, and EM tools
✅ Integration of spatial data into layered GIS maps
✅ Use of CAD for detailed technical schematics
✅ Real-time tracking for emergency response and routine maintenance
✅ Collaboration between agencies, planners, and engineers

When GIS handles location data and CAD ensures design accuracy, the result is a seamless utility management system that reduces cost, prevents damage, and supports sustainable city growth.

📍 Watch now to understand how modern cities map what lies beneath — and why it matters.
