Know what lies below with Leica’s DSX 3D utility detection system

No ordinary lawnmower: utilities can’t hide from Leica Geosystem’s DSX detection solution

Emergency road repair work needn’t create yet another emergency by hitting unknow utility pipes and other systems.  

Leica Geosystems says its DSX utility detection solution can quickly be walked over the area where work is about to start and immediately show an excavator operator any dangers that lie below.

It locates, visualises and map utilities. Unlike any other ground penetrating radar system, the Leica DSX maximises productivity with cutting-edge software that automates data analysis and creates a 3D utility map of the field.

Leica DSX can be used together with Leica GPS/GNSS systems to generate highly accurate georeferenced maps.  

There is also a ‘quick scan’ mode for a quick utility, anomaly and ground condition check before a more detailed grid scan project gets underway.

Operators can add different background layers, such as Google Maps or DXF/DWG.

The solution can export, store, share and access data on major Cloud service providers. It can also maximise troubleshooting efficiency by sharing 
diagnostics data via the Cloud.

    Greater precision is helping blur the boundaries between GIS technology and design software While GIS map based technology has extended its range across an ever more universal spectrum of uses in the highways sector, it is increasingly showing weaknesses for engineering purposes. It is very often not accurate enough. This has not mattered previously because the GIS tool has been seen essentially as an automated version of paper based systems from the design department's point of view. Where engineers
