Overview
Over 4 million road excavations take place in Britain every year – and a further 1 million occur away from the road. These works take place in order to install, repair or maintain 4 million km of underground pipes and cables. This figure is growing by the day as our demand for power, utilities and communications infrastructure increases.

Trac-ID and Intelligent Trench

Trac-ID have formed the Intelligent Trench with 3M, Bentley, and Infotec. As a partner, Trac-ID have developed the U-Track Data Capture software exclusively to be the front end to the Intelligent Trench solution.

Facts
The lack of easily accessible, good quality, reliable underground asset data contributes to:-

▶ Congestion cost to the UK economy of £5.6 billion annually1
▶ Damage to underground assets estimated to be over
£150m per year as well as disruptions in service and
consequent poor public relations
▶ Health and Safety issues for site workers
▶ Increased excavation costs from dry digs
▶ Reduction in road life by as much as 30%2

The Solution
Developed by a team of technology partners, the Intelligent Trench Solution combines advanced Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) & GPS asset marking / locating techniques and minimally invasive / non- invasive surveying methods with easy to use data collection / sharing software. The use of innovative processes and technology allows private and public sector organisations to better manage their underground assets and at the same time improve the effectiveness of all streetworks projects – a benefit for all.

The Intelligent Trench Solution can be purchased direct from Trac-ID, who are an official distributor of the 3M/Dynatel range of markers and locators. Contact us for more information, to discuss your requirements, or to obtain a quote.
