Geoff Zeiss was an instrumental influencer for the Minnesota Utility Mapping Project (MN UMP). The goals of the MN UMP are to 1.) increase the accuracy of underground utility maps, 2.) provide for a method of viewing this data in relation to a "One-call" excavation area, and 3.)reduce underground utility damages. This viewed utility mapping data is supplemental to the "One-call" process. Founded in 2020, the Minnesota Underground Mapping Project completed the Phase 1 prototype for viewing ...

Every year the vast majority of seemingly routine street excavations occurring around the world are adversely impacted by lack of usable information about buried utility infrastructure. Large-scale construction projects are frequently stalled, incurring delay claims and change orders that significantly increase costs, because the locations of utility installations were never properly recorded or depicted. Bid costs may be increased by a minimum of 10-30% for cont...

Utilities across North America are investing in a vast array of Distribution System improvements and system expansion efforts.  As these investments progress, the current / manual 'as-built' data collection procedures are unable to address the increased reporting and documentation burden on the back office staff.To address these ever growing documentation demands, Utilities will need to revolutionize their field data capture process as well as their back office system updat...

Geoff Zeiss devoted over 30 years of his life to the Geospatial industry and global community, focusing on utility and construction sectors, and mapping underground utility infrastructure among many other projects. Sadly, Geoff passed away in September of 2022.  The Geoff Zeiss Urban Infrastructure Mapping Fund was established to build on decades of innovation by Dr. Zeiss in developing effective and sustainable urban infrastructure through research and development supporting urban in...

Gyro mapping is rapidly becoming a widely accepted technology for obtaining accurate XYZ data of subsurface utility infrastructure. Whether through national regulation or the utility network owners’ diligent network management policies, gyro mapping is becoming a standard new-build specification, in particular for trenchless installation methods. In addition, Utility network owners see a great benefit in having an objective and accurate as-built profile duri...

The talk summarizes a market product of deep learning based semantic segmentation of point clouds and automatic 3D reconstruction of as-built BIM for underground utilities and pipework for 3D GIS. The presentation covers a general workflow of the approach (including point cloud labeling, definition of classes, deep neural network, information extraction, and pipe modeling), accuracy of semantic segmentation, real case studies, and foreseeable challenges down the road. Also, the speakers wi...

CUIR is a portal solution that will allow the owners of buried infrastructure to exchange information with firms requesting the nature and location of buried assets bounded within the area outlined in a One Call ticket. Unlike a central database, the CUIR process does not provide anyone access to the owners database, but rather allows the owner to receive the request and push the data to the requestor thus preventing any external party access to their database.This process will also...
