Exodigo won the Innovation award for its groundbreaking non-intrusive 3D modeling technology that significantly increases the detection of underground utilities. It secured the R&D award for its proprietary digital platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to transform raw data from a wide variety of sensor types into comprehensive subsurface maps. The Safety award recognizes Exodigo for its meticulous geospatial safety standards that minimize community disruption and enhance project design safety.
Revolutionizing 3D modeling in Urban landscapes
Exodigo’s non-intrusive, multi-sensing technology has revolutionized the way underground utilities are mapped in dense urban environments. A key differentiator, Exodigo combines multiple sensors, satellite imagery and algorithmic processing to create a composite underground map rather than relying on records or available data. Exodigo finds all utilities and then uses available records for comparison and quality control. In the case of a recent in Brooklyn, NY, National Grid project, Exodigo’s advanced technology identified a shocking 188% more utilities than the city’s records indicated. This significant increase in detection was not only a testament to the technology’s effectiveness but also highlighted the potential for substantial improvements in urban planning and infrastructure development.
The precise and detailed 3D models of subsurface assets created by Exodigo are delivered in formats that facilitate easy integration into various engineering and planning workflows. The ability to provide these models in ArcGIS map package/GIS online (ESRI), CAD (AutoCAD), and PDF formats ensures that the data can be utilized across different platforms and by professionals with varying technical expertise. This adaptability is crucial for the development of digital twins, which serve as foundational elements for smart city initiatives and advanced asset management.
Advancing digital platforms Through AI and data integration
Exodigo’s proprietary platform has been recognized for its innovative use of AI to convert vast amounts of raw data into actionable insights. The platform’s ability to integrate disparate data sources from multiple sensor types and digitize analog records and integrate disparate data sources has dramatically improved the accuracy and reliability of subsurface maps. The integration of camera images, advanced sensor technology, satellite imagery, and web sources, processed through AI-driven algorithms, has enabled a more comprehensive understanding of the subsurface environment.
The platform’s systematic scanning and advanced data collection techniques, utilizing an array of sensors including magnetic gradiometers, Time Domain Electromagnetic Induction (TDEMI) and Frequency Domain Electromagnetic (FDEM), multi-channel Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), and electromagnetic sensors, have set a new standard in data collection for subsurface mapping. This approach not only enhances the quality of the data collected, but also streamlines the entire data acquisition process, making it more efficient and cost-effective.
Enhancing geospatial safety standards
In the realm of safety, Exodigo has made significant strides by conducting operations that minimize community disruption and maintain the highest health and safety standards. The critical data provided by Exodigo for the National Grid project, which included the unexpected discovery of a non-conductive line in a location different from the records, exemplifies the company’s impact on enhancing geospatial safety. The discovery prompted a major redesign of the project, showcasing the potential of Exodigo’s technology to prevent safety risks before they arise.
Furthermore, the ability to conduct comprehensive scans at night with traffic control demonstrates Exodigo’s commitment to safety and community well-being. The approach not only complies with stringent safety regulations but also ensures rapid permitting and minimal interference with daily life. The early identification of design conflicts by Exodigo’s technology is a proactive measure that can significantly reduce the likelihood of project delays and redesigns, further underscoring the company’s contribution to safety in the power industry.
“I am deeply honored to accept this award on behalf of our team from GlobalData’s Power Technology Excellence Awards. This award underscores the dedication, innovation, and hard work our team puts into our product and our unique underground mapping technology. With the use of multi-sensing technology and artificial intelligence, we can make critical grid resilience projects possible faster, more safely and more sustainably. We are committed to continuing to lead the development of the most cutting-edge mapping technology solutions on the market.” – Jeremy Suard, CEO and Co-Founder, Exodigo
