PelicanCorp Inc., the global leader in damage prevention solutions, today announces a partnership with Bad Elf, LLC, a leading manufacturer of Bluetooth-connected GNSS receivers. The partnership enables the integration of PelicanCorp’s Geolantis.360 field data collection platform with Bad Elf’s GNSS receivers to deliver an affordable, comprehensive solution to accurately locate subsurface assets.

Accurate, up-to-date asset location is crucial for utility companies to manage and protect their infrastructure, plan effectively, and liaise with contractors. Yet despite the widespread use of digital data collection tools, many companies still use manual, paper-based processes to map their assets and to transfer data from the field to the office.

The ground under our feet is a complex network of tunnels, pipes, and cables. All of these are providing essential services, whether it's high-speed broadband internet, electricity, water, or gas. Anyone attempting any form of work must have accurate information of what and where the cables are.

Major traffic disruptions after damage to a gas main leads to the closure of one of the busiest roads in Kildare. The closure caused long traffic delays, according to AA Roadwatch, before the road was reopened at about 8pm.

A spokesman for Gas Networks Ireland said its emergency team went to the scene “in response to a report of third party damage to a gas main”.

It’s our pleasure to announce the launch of the beforeUdig Locator Certification Programme.
