GroundScope
The New Standard in Pre-Dig Verification
Know what's below. Before you dig.
The Challenge
See the Problem Beneath the Surface
Every excavation follows a process. But at the point of dig, you're still making a decision without full certainty. GroundScope introduces a new step, built for the moment that matters most.
Nothing confirms underground conditions at the exact point of excavation. That's where risk lives.
Where the Process Breaks Down
Call 811
Designates known utilities
GPR Survey
Maps the general area
Point of Dig
The blind spot. Are you clear to dig right here, right now?
Break Ground
The moment of risk
GroundScope
The Final Verification Step Before You Dig
GroundScope is an AI-powered subsurface verification tool built for your everyday excavation workflow.
It does not replace 811. It does not replace GPR.
It gives you immediate underground intelligence at the point of dig, helping reduce uncertainty and support safer excavation decisions.
How It Works
Scan. Verify. Dig.
Scan the Area
Move GroundScope across the intended excavation zone to capture what’s below the surface.
Get Instant Results
See clear, real-time feedback directly on the device. No complex interpretation required.
Mark & Dig With Confidence
Proceed with certainty or adjust your approach based on real data.
Build a Safety Network
Every scan is recorded and stored, creating a growing record you can reuse to improve future work.
Why GroundScope
More Than a Tool.
A System for Better Decisions.
Verify before you dig
Confirm underground conditions at the exact point of excavation, not just rely on markings or assumptions
Get clear answers in the field
Make faster decisions without complex tools or specialized interpretation
Document every scan automatically
Every scan is tied to a job, location, and operator, creating a clear record of what was verified.
Turn scans into usable data
Use your scan history for reporting, analysis, and better planning on future jobs.
Use Cases / Applications
The Industries That Work Below the Surface
Utilities
Verify underground infrastructure before maintenance, upgrades, and emergency repairs.
Construction
Reduce risk during trenching, excavation, and large-scale civil infrastructure projects.
Government
Support public works, transportation, and municipal infrastructure programs.
Defense
Improve subsurface awareness for sensitive sites and mission critical operations.
Utility Risk Cloud
Every Scan Becomes a Record
GroundScope captures subsurface scan data in the field and sends it to the Utility Risk Cloud, where it is automatically organized into structured job records.
Instead of isolated scans, your team builds a documented history of underground conditions, scan activity, and verification steps across every project.
This gives crews, supervisors, and project owners clear documentation of what was scanned and when.
An active Utility Risk Cloud subscription is required to operate GroundScope and access AI powered scan analysis.
About GroundScope
Focused on One Critical Moment
GroundScope exists to reduce uncertainty at the point of excavation.
We believe crews should not have to guess what is below the surface. They should have clear information before they make a decision to dig.
Our approach is simple. Fit into how work already gets done. Avoid unnecessary complexity. Deliver clarity where it matters most.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does GroundScope do?
GroundScope is a subsurface verification tool that helps crews confirm underground conditions before excavation begins and creates documentation that can be reviewed and shared across teams.
Does GroundScope replace 811?
No. GroundScope complements 811 markings by adding a verification step before excavation begins.
How long does a typical scan take?
It depends on area size and required confidence level. A standard 10ft scan takes less than 30 seconds. Scan at a pace of 1ft per second. Then allow for the table to process the scan, which takes about 2-seconds per foot scanned.
Do I need a specialist to operate it?
No. GroundScope was designed for ease of use and most operators can learn the workflow in about ten minutes.
Is the Utility Risk Cloud required to use GroundScope?
Yes. An active subscription is required to operate GroundScope and access AI processing, data storage, and reporting.
How is GroundScope different from traditional GPR?
GroundScope is designed for fast verification directly at the point of dig. It focuses on ease of use and immediate feedback so crews can confirm underground conditions quickly without requiring specialized interpretation.
