The future of Utility Mapping!

The future of Utility Mapping!   In October we finally met! Geolitix, TerraCarta and Shell have been working together on the UGI (Underground Imaging) concept for almost 2 years, and what fun it is to meet each other in person! From Canada, Argentina, America, India and the Netherlands we had a weekly contact through online…

TerraCarta locates cables and pipes with drone!

TerraCarta locates cables and pipes with drone!   TerraCarta also searches for directional bores and underwater pipes and can do this with a very high degree of certainty.   But things continue to develop… On fast-flowing rivers, working with a workboat is a lot more difficult than, for example, on this canal. On larger waterways…

TerraCarta as a Preferred Supplier for KPN!

TerraCarta as a Preferred Supplier for KPN! Together with KPN (Royal Dutch Telecom), TerraCarta started a pilot project in 2018 to investigate “deviating locations” in the form of, for example, directional drilling and culverts. The reporting of a “deviating location” should lead to an increasingly better registration of our underground cables and pipes with network…

3D laser scanning with mobile phone! We have found a new method to capture information in 3D! It is possible to convert a simple movie (MP4) recorded with a mobile phone into a point cloud so that you can literally step into your own movie. In this way it becomes possible to record information without…

Underground Imaging 3D-AR-AI

Underground Imaging 3D-AR-AI TerraCarta is very proud of working with SHELL on Underground Imaging (UGI). This is an online environment for conducting a 3D detection study of cables and pipes (utility mapping).Initially, a uniform method was created to quickly and efficiently collect data using detection techniques. For now these are Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and…
