Over 4 million road excavations take place in Britain every year - and a further 1 million occur away from the road. These works take place in order to install, repair or maintain 4 million km of underground pipes and cables. This figure is growing by the day as our demand for power, utilities and communications infrastructure increases.

Developed by a team of technology partners, the Intelligent Trench Solution combines advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) & GPS asset marking/locating techniques and minimally invasive/noninvasive surveying methods with easy to use data collection/sharing software.

The use of innovative processes and technology allows private and public sector organisations to better manage their underground assets and at the same time improve the effectiveness of all streetworks projects - a benefit for all.
