Case Study: Colorado DOT Fiber Duct Mapping

Review the mapped data and duct conditions discovered in Colorado through 3D gyroscopic mapping technology.

THE CHALLENGE

As Colorado’s Department of Transportation (DOT) and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) focus on the future of fiber and their infrastructure, they need to know what exists today.

THE SOLUTION

Quickly and efficiently provide accurate mapping of fiber ducts, with the data necessary to inform utility contractors. Using 3D gyroscopic mapping technology we conducted a series of four pilot projects to showcase the capabilities, accuracy, and depth of information that can be captured:

PILOT #1: Map a straight segment with dual access points.

PILOT #2: Map a critical segment with tight bends.

PILOT #3: Map HDD and open trench pipe segment.

PILOT #4: Map pipe segments with a single access point.
