Protecting the infrastructure that fuels your operations

We map underground utilities and make the data accessible and actionable on Google Maps so as to maximize safety, reduce costs & utility conflicts, and maintain business continuity.

I don't have a color preference, though for the "common associations" described below, some colors, like red, seem out of place in this application. Similarly, don't use black or purple. Green might work, but it may connote an environmental theme that we don't represent.

Taking that into account, preferred colors would be more "mainstream" like grey, orange, blue, white, yellow and possibly green.

A civil engineering asset management program that maps and displays all available information about an underground utility system. Presented in an easy to read visual format, this program allows owners, asset managers, planners, maintenance personnel and contractors to quickly locate, view, read and print records about any underground system or aspect of a system.

The program has a multitude of uses, is user friendly and does not require the purchase of proprietary software. Initially based on existing records, the program can be expanded to include field-verification of utilities, master planned utilities, expansion of utility systems or upgrades to existing systems. One feature of the program allows users to open files in Google Earth and while moving around the property use a GPS locator to visualize locations of underground utilities.

No matter the age and history of your property’s underground infrastructure, you can now have all known information stored in a convenient program. Record drawings, survey monuments, hands-on maintenance information, records of testing and performance information, depreciation / replacement cost spreadsheets - the program brings it all together.
