Underground networks: detection of surface network fixtures
IMAJING’s automatic Manholes, gully inlets, gutters and valve boxes artificial intelligence models analyse surveys carried out with the IMAJING range of mobile mapping systems — IMAJING Capture, imajbox 3TX+ and imajbox 360HD — to detect and geolocate manholes, gully inlets, gratings, gutters and valve boxes. This equipment, visible at the surface, is automatically converted into GIS data ready to be integrated into business reference datasets.
This extraction makes it easier to maintain stormwater, sewer and drinking water networks. It gives teams a reliable location of access points, including the valve boxes used to operate on water networks, to prepare cleaning, inspection, repair or replacement work.
Precise knowledge of this equipment is also essential for road renovation projects. It helps anticipate the constraints of underground networks, prepare worksites, make interventions safer and avoid unnecessary rework.
Surface detections can also be combined with shapefiles and other vector layers representing water and sewer networks. Overlaid on the images in augmented reality, this data lets you view, within a single platform, both the equipment visible at the surface and the elements located underground.
The data can be checked in imajnet, completed, then exported to GIS software. Successive surveys then keep the inventory up to date and reveal new or moved equipment, as well as equipment that has become difficult to access.
