Underground utility mapping for Escolight / RFI.

Georeferenced utility map for the Escolight RFI project — Escolight / RFI · original utility map

Client: Escolight Srl / RFI
Industry: EPC & Infrastructure
Technology / sensors: GPR, electromagnetic surveying

THE CONTEXT

The project in context.

Underground utility mapping and non-invasive geophysical analysis covered a 150,000 m² area for the Escolight Srl / RFI project.

This case study covers utility mapping. A separate UXO risk assessment entry on the original website remains in the inventory pending confirmation of how the two activities relate.

THE CHALLENGE

Understanding the risk.

The project needed to locate undocumented buried infrastructure to plan construction and limit conflicts during excavation.

The scale of the site and varying electromagnetic ground conditions required advanced processing of the acquired signals.

XPLORA’S APPROACH

From field data to deliverables.

Electromagnetic and GPR surveys were followed by proprietary software processing to identify buried utilities and produce georeferenced network mapping.

01
Survey
Electromagnetic and GPR data acquisition across the survey area.
02
Processing
Signal processing with proprietary software.
03
Identification
Identifying buried infrastructure.
04
GIS deliverables
Georeferenced utility map and accompanying technical report.

OUTPUTS

RESULT

The project’s operational value.

Processing identified buried infrastructure and produced a georeferenced GIS map and technical report. No depth KPI is shown because the unit in the source PDF differs from that on the case study page.
