High-resolution underground utility mapping and permit-tracking software sold to contractors, utilities, and public works teams.
Subsurface mapping and construction-risk reduction
News of a newly funded “Google Maps for the underground,” built by a former PG&E engineer, highlights a costly blind spot: unknown buried utilities cause strikes, slow permit approvals, and stall projects. Simple software that pairs high-resolution subsurface maps with permit tracking can cut excavation risk, speed approvals, and reduce costly construction delays.
