Summary
ProStar designed and developed a proprietary utility mapping solution that operates on a standard smart phone and has proven to address these issues and reduce the risk of damage to these buried assets due to the lack of timely and precise information being available during maintenance and construction activities. Using unique and patented processes, ProStar's solution provides a unique view of subsurface infrastructure relative to the user's location resulting in real-time situational awareness and to a precision, which, until now, was unachievable. ProStar's solution leverages open data standards combined with modern cloud and mobile technologies, to deliver critical utility location information into the hands of project personnel where and when it is most needed, whether that is in the field or in the office. When accurate utility location information is delivered to project personnel in a timely manner, the risk of damage to buried assets often caused by construction and maintenance activities is significantly reduced.
After years of development and testing, ProStar now has a growing list of several high-profile clients that include the Colorado Department of Transportation, Kiewit Corporation (a Fortune 500 contractor based in Omaha, Nebraska), and some of the largest subsurface utility engineering organizations in North America.
