A public works construction project on your street for 10 years is not fun.
Highways, tunnels, metros, light rail systems, electric car infrastructure, power lines, new electric stations --these projects are great once they're done --if they're ever done-- and if they haven't cost taxpayers an absolute King's Ransom.
Unfortunately, almost all of them do. Every single one. They're never on time and never on budget, never.
One of the biggest culprits: inadequate mapping of what's underground. Unexpected underground issues where you discover way too late that what's there is not what you thought or built the entire contract on.
Developers thought they were going to dig in sand and in the end it's rock. Or they thought all the power lines were removed out the way and suddenly there's five power lines that are going to take four months to remove, and the whole project stops, completely.
Land surveyors and engineering companies still do not have the technological means to produce accurate maps of the underground. That's where Exodigo comes in.
The company's founder Jeremy Suard, joins us on a narrative journey into the underground -- under the hood of under the surface -- with his startup's sensor and AI technology that completes the map, allowing huge public works construction projects to go ahead.
Learn how better underground utility mapping could benefit infrastructure building globally, and affect all of our lives.
