Trimble and Radiodetection have established a collaboration to improve the technology used in the utility measurement and mapping process. Through the integration of the Trimble Catalyst DA2 GNSS system and Radiodetection’s RD MapTM+ application and precision locator products, the software and hardware integration streamlines utility-locating workflows. This can provide high-accuracy measurement capabilities for the generation of underground utilities maps in a single field operation.
Traditionally, field technicians mark their measurements onsite manually or rely on data entries to provide to office staff for map creation after a site visit. Data collected with the Trimble Catalyst DA2 GNSS system can now be synced with Radiodetection RD Map+ and precision locators that find and mark buried utilities. By streamlining this connection, workers can digitise utility-line locations and reduce costly reporting errors.
This integration advances utility measurement workflows by giving personnel the capability to accurately represent the utility asset in a digital format. This streamlines the operation, maintenance and construction process whenever utilities are involved.
