East Trenchers offers specialized services to companies operating in the infrastructure sector. In particular, East Trenchers provides technical services for engineering and the environment, specializing in instrumental surveys on infrastructures through the execution of topographic surveys, drone photogrammetry, classic and mobile LIDAR surveys, and geophysical prospecting, with specific expertise in GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) investigations. Additionally, East Trenchers offers data processing services for georadar and photogrammetric data acquired by TESMEC clients. Furthermore, the company provides rental and post-rental services for Tesmec Trenchers and Rock Hawgs, catering to those involved in road and hydraulic construction, railway tunnels, aqueducts, pipelines, public sewers, large-scale earthworks, removal of ground aggregates, and all activities related to excavation work.

The problem

To date, the localization and classification activities of utilities and buried objects supporting excavation operations are largely conducted by a human operator, who relies on images and data provided by software following a Ground-Penetrating Radar (GPR) scan of the area to be excavated. The duration and accuracy of the operation depend heavily on the operator’s experience. In order to reduce this dependence and optimize the process, there is a need to develop an AI-based software system capable of automating much of the process, thereby making the operator’s work more efficient, involving them only in value-added activities.

The solution

Technologies

  • Requirements and Data Analysis
  • Development of Artificial Intelligence Algorithms
  • Development of Software Architecture and Interfaces
  • Creation of a Technological Demonstrator capable of implementing—integrating and refining algorithms and providing initial results.

Desired Impacts

  • Optimization of the localization and classification process of utilities and buried objects, reducing dependence on human operators;
  • Acceleration of workflow activities, reduction of post-processing times;
  • Increased reliability of operations and results.

Benefits for the company

  • Increase in market competitiveness thanks to an innovative solution that ensures reliability, time and resource savings, and speed of execution;
  • freedom from proprietary software, thanks to a customizable product according to business needs.
