Utilities

"As well as recording accurately where the new network lies for maintenance, we also need to monitor our contractor’s progress to keep disruption to a minimum and meet the Traffic Management Act’s requirements. It was therefore vital that our contractors knew exactly what the job entailed and were equipped to meet our stringent specifications."

Ben Darlow, Thames Water

KOREC are working with a number of Utility companies to provide them with an efficient way of recording accurate positional data for their assets. By recording GPS coordinates for buried assets using Trimble's VRS Now service and RTK Rovers companies are able to locate and maintain pipelines, buried cables or drainage systems quickly and efficiently in the future.

The utility industry is at the forefront when it comes to the use of GNSS and GIS technologies. From electric, gas and water utilities to telecommunications companies, geospatial technologies are making it easier for utility workers to manage their complex field assets.

Trimble has made mapping fixed assets and returning to those assets for maintenance work easy. But these days, GNSS and GIS technology is about more than just mapping. With data collection and maintenance systems from Trimble, utilities can now take advantage of seamless field-to-office workflow solutions for managing and utilizing spatial data.
