Case Study: Subtera Subsurface Locating improves subsurface utility mapping for Main Roads WA with 12d Model

Subtera Subsurface Locating - Customer Case Study

Subtera Subsurface Locating, a provider of subsurface utility locating services in Western Australia, faced the challenge of accurately mapping all utilities in Bakers Hill for Main Roads WA. The client needed precise data, as existing records were often spatially inaccurate, which posed a major risk to the design and budgeting of a new road project. The vendor, 12d Solutions, provided its 12d Model software to support this undertaking.

12d Solutions enabled Subtera to deliver data to the AS5488 standard. Their methodology involved validating existing data and locating unknown utilities using Ground Penetrating Radar and electromagnetic locators. This provided Main Roads WA with trusted, qualified data that allowed for accurate clash detection, budgeting for asset relocations, and the integration of existing utilities, resulting in significant cost savings.
