Making the invisible visible in complex industrial environments.
At a recent oil refinery project in New Zealand, Sub Surface Detection Ltd Est 2010 & UTILITY DETECTION & MAPPING combined the power of the IDS GeoRadar ecosystem to transform large volumes of subsurface data into meaningful engineering intelligence.
Using their IDS GeoRadar Stream DP multi-array GPR, high-density subsurface data was rapidly captured across the site, enabling fast, non-destructive investigation of complex underground conditions.
The real power comes after capture.
By leveraging IQ Maps and AI Maps 2.0, we were able to process and interrogate enormous datasets more efficiently, assisting with interpretation and identifying underground features with greater consistency. UDM then undertook 3D modelling and target feature extraction, converting raw geophysical data into visual, spatially intelligent outputs that support planning and decision making.
From data capture → AI-assisted interpretation → 3D subsurface modelling.
Not just locating utilities — building a smarter understanding of what lies below.
