Underground construction reality capture

market profile

  • text: Underground construction teams need records of pipes and crossings before trenches are backfilled and their contents are hidden.
  • text: Contractors coordinate crews and specialist surveyors, while utilities can wait months for drawings and updated GIS data.

personas

  • title: Civil contractor project manager
    pains:
    • Specialist survey scheduling and repeat site visits slow trench handover.
    • Measurements and documentation required for billing arrive late.
  • title: Utility GIS or network asset manager
    pains:
    • As-built drawings arrive after construction and leave the GIS out of date.
    • A closed trench makes undocumented pipe locations expensive to verify later.
  • title: District heating technical planner
    pains:
    • A first building survey can require several specialists and follow-up visits.
    • Plans and customer offers wait on field measurements.

icp

  • text: Civil engineering, earthworks and pipeline contractors documenting open trenches and house connections are core targets.
  • text: Utilities and district heating operators upgrading distributed networks in German-speaking markets are demonstrated customers; account sizes are not stated.

message pillars

  • text: Capture the open trench with equipment crews already carry.
  • text: Shorten the path from footage to billing documentation.
  • text: Produce detailed 3D records of buried infrastructure.

objections

  • objection: Can phone capture meet our survey requirements?
    response: Compare a pilot against a professional survey and the accuracy and regulatory requirements for the specific project.
  • objection: Will the output work with our GIS and design workflows?
    response: Test sample as-built drawings and GIS exports in the customer's existing systems before committing to rollout.
  • objection: Will crews need specialized scanning equipment?
    response: Sizeless describes capture on an ordinary smartphone; confirm device requirements and field training in a trial.
