Our SUE/SUM Services Manager, Michael Twohig, has an article in the latest edition of dp-PRO Magazine. Mike took a look at the advances in Subsurface Utility Mapping (SUM), and how improvements in mobile mapping technology can actually enhance worker safety.

“With this technology, we find that it is possible to survey and map the above- and below-ground environment from the safety of a vehicle, using a mobile system that delivers high-value data for preliminary surveys,” Mike writes. “Saving workers lives, reducing survey costs and delivering more valuable three-dimensional data will soon be a new best practice for highway departments, light rail designers, energy asset owners, and state and local governments.”
