Enables locate and engineering teams to gather information about their underground world and integrate it with other business systems such as their Geographic Information System and / or Enterprise Asset Management System.

Capture your locate information accurately, the first time

Utility Mapper

Utility Mapper

The 2019 DIRT report estimated that there was in excess of $30 Billion dollars’ worth of damages in the United States and those numbers are trending upwards. Canada’s utility damage costs were more than $660 million with approximately 4000 to 5000 reported damages in Ontario alone.

Accurate record keeping and high precision data collection of assets when they go in the ground is critical. After burial, capturing and storing the required locate information helps tremendously in maintaining an accurate record of all assets and of the activities in the area that concern them.

Utility Mapper integrates directly with both high accuracy GNSS (GPS) positioning systems such as those provided by Trimble and Eos, as well as high performance utility locate sets including those built by Radiodetection, Vivax-Metrotech and Rycom.

One click locate-and-map technology saves time and money. Capture ALL locate information and spatial information at the same time. Choose to complete your locate either in field or in the office with Data Engine’s online Sketch functionality.
