Utility Mapping
Knowing what is where, before you dig
Know what is where before you dig.
When installing, relocating or renovating underground infrastructure, accurate registration of cables and pipelines is mandatory. Incomplete or outdated registrations lead to excavation damage, delays and high repair costs. According to the Dutch Land Registry, excavation damage costs the Netherlands tens of millions of euros each year.
We measure cables, pipelines, gas mains and sewers while the trench is still open. The position and depth are recorded in a digital file that complies with KLIC (Dutch utility registration system) guidelines. This makes the information usable for network operators, municipalities and future projects.
In addition to underground registration we also map above-ground infrastructure: connection points, manholes, cabinets and distribution boxes. The result is a complete digital overview of the infrastructure on your site.

When installing or relocating cables and pipelines in public areas, registration in line with KLIC guidelines is mandatory. On private land it is not always legally required, but strongly recommended to prevent excavation damage during future work.
All types: electricity, gas, water, telecom, fiber optics, sewers, district heating and data cabling. Both underground (when the trench is open) and above ground.
By default we deliver in common GIS formats such as IMKL (for KLIC), DWG, shapefile or GML. We deliver in the format your organization or the network operator requires.
Yes. With the trench open we measure the depth relative to ground level and record it in the registration file.
