      Driving Innovation in Underground Surveying

      We are an innovative technology company specialising in hardware and software solutions for 3D mapping, locating, and assessing underground infrastructure like sewers, pipes, tunnels, and culverts. Primarily serving the water industry, our products are also critical for construction projects, helping to locate pipes and sewers below ground to prevent damage and project delays. Our flagship solution, Telesto, leads the way in remote 3D mapping for water and construction, and we are expanding our portfolio to include technologies for confined spaces, smaller pipes, and underground voids.

      We are dedicated to advancing autonomous technologies for hazardous environments, developing robots and drones with enhanced sensing and AI to operate in complex underground systems. We have just started a four-year European Commission funded project (Pipeon) to help create small, autonomous robots that will inspect, report and even maintain and repair sewers. These innovations ensure critical infrastructure remains resilient in the face of increasing urbanisation and climate change while driving safety, efficiency, and digital transformation.

      The Problem

      Risky and costly to inspect and map underground assets

      Inspecting underground and confined spaces often poses significant health and safety risks for workers while requiring extensive planning and resources to ensure safety and effective data capture. These environments are typically dark, GPS-denied, and obstructed by obscurants such as fog, mist, and dust, which, combined with a limited field of view, make navigation and observation challenging. The unstructured nature of these spaces, often filled with obstacles, silt, mud, and flowing water, further complicates the process. Workers face substantial risks when entering these confined spaces, which often have restricted access, and in some cases person-entry is impossible. There are also demands on the equipment used, including limited battery life and computer processing power, as well as a need for robust enclosures and seals to ensure the equipment can cope with the environment.

      The Solution

      Telesto for safer surveying and asset digitisation at scale

      Telesto enhances safety by reducing the need for hazardous confined space entry. It is designed to retrofit onto deployment vehicles, enabling them to collect LiDAR and image data semi-autonomously. This data is processed to produce a detailed digital twin of the underground asset, and then visualised using SeeBeyond on the Telesto Data Platform. The digital twin provides an accurate and comprehensive representation for effective mapping and monitoring. Additionally, it ensures precise assessments and helps identify potential issues early. This approach is a cost-effective solution for managing underground assets efficiently.
