Geodetection seminar on networks and new technologies

Several Viamapa specialists attended the first Seminar on Geodetection and Network Locationon June 9 at Alfândega do Porto, where several themes of this sector in full development were addressed.

On the agenda were topics:

  • Geodetection of underground networks and infrastructure and its advantages

  • Our experience and its applicability in a case study conducted in Vila Nova de Gaia

  • Presentation of technologies technologies, such as Georadar, Stream Up, Stream C

Geodetection and Network Localization Seminar

Reasons that led the French government to reflect on the use of network cartography:

  • Increase in accidents in underground networks during work on public roads
  • Various interruptions of supply and service maintenance

  • Lower quality of pre-existing network plans

  • Lack of knowledge of heritage leads to a complex study of networks

Underground network cartography

Detection for Cadastre and Cartographic Representation of Networks

We have technological solutions for the detection, georeferencing and identification of water, sewage and gas pipelines, as well as electrical, telecommunications, fiber, lighting and public signaling infrastructures thanks to Georadar's continuous emission of electromagnetic waves on the ground .  

Our clients are from many different backgrounds:

Intermunicipal Communities (CIM), Municipalities, Public and Private network concessionaires

Advantages:

  • Reduction of accidents
  • Heritage Knowledge
  • Efficient Patrimony Management
  • Database Creation
  • Basis for Studies and Projects
  • Decrease incosts

Surveys surveys in works phase phase

Just as in topography and cartography projects, network reconnaissance usually requires intervention at different scales, such as the in-depth study of a specific section of the network in question.

In public domain works, which for some reason require the precise location of a certain element, this type of technology is applied, allowing the works to continue safely. The main stakeholders in this type of service:

Construction companies, engineering, network installation, etc.

Stream up and Mobile Mapping

Combination of StreamUp technology and Mobile Mapping for: 

Viamapa has been a leader in Mobile Mapping since 2011, having covered thousands of kilometers all over the globe.

The new StreamUp technology allows geodetection of all infrastructure present on the track in dynamic acquisition mode resulting in high cost-efficiency.

The combination of both technologies results in a final product with even greater accuracy and complementarity of data at the surface and at depth.

In a single scan we get a graphical representation of the ground and subsoil.

Advantages:

  • Greater precision
  • Validation of the collected data in real time

  • Obtaining maps for the most diverse reports
