Smart system for recording road repairs

The new Site-Track system is said to offer a sophisticated tool for tracking road repairs. The system can be used for identifying new installation or repairs for utilities and recording all utilities in the immediate area of the installation. The package offers a method of relocating previously recorded information rapidly, without the need for advanced skills or technologies such as GPS and is said to be invaluable for night-time or emergency works.

The new Site-Track system is said to offer a sophisticated tool for tracking road repairs. The system can be used for identifying new installation or repairs for utilities and recording all utilities in the immediate area of the installation.  

The package offers a method of relocating previously recorded information rapidly, without the need for advanced skills or technologies such as GPS and is said to be invaluable for night-time or emergency works. The package can provide accurate location of critical assets such as valves, joints, utility service connections on water and gas networks or other individual utility assets. And it offers real-time updates of records, ensuring immediate availability of critical utility network information on databases.

Using this system will reduce the risk of delayed projects caused by incorrectly issued permits, dry digs or digging in the wrong place due to incorrect mapping of original utility assets. And it offers better design through increased awareness of buried asset information, enabling pre-selection of the most appropriate and cost effective methodology. Meanwhile individual fields of required records can be incorporated into the software for different country requirement and compliance as well as language of choice. And the firm claims that the package also offers improved site health and safety due to a lower risk of cable strikes.
