Abstract

Abstract

This article will discuss the benefits of optimised production planning when installing new, and/or maintaining existing, buried infrastructure. Optimised production planning is cost effective and reduces risks for damages and accidents. To optimise production planning, all available information in an area of interest needs to be collected. This is traditionally achieved through the combined use of drawings, visual inspections, data collected with EM locators and GPR, and often also making test pits.

As of late, specific planning software using 3D GPR array data and other input has become the preferred choice for time effective and detailed production planning. GPR array investigations can often detect and map all existing buried assets in high detail, thus reducing project time. The article will show results from a project performed in Stockholm, Sweden, using MALÅ 3D GPR array technologies and the Terra Eye software platform.
