[This is an excerpt from At-Depth Modeling: What Is It and How It Can Help Your Next Project?]

When asked what one of the biggest benefits is when utilizing at-depth models, Silbaugh said, “Having that visual representation of what's going on underneath the ground.”

GPRS is constantly in pursuit of 100% subsurface damage prevention. At-depth modeling serves as another steppingstone towards that ultimate goal.

Every 60 seconds, there is a utility strike in the United States. By knowing what is below your feet before you dig eliminates the possibility of striking utilities that can lead to expensive repairs, costly delays, and serious injuries or death.

The data presented in at-depth models clearly depict the location of underground utilities and obstructions so your next project and every project after that can progress without the risk of utility strikes.

Silbaugh stated the following when asked about the difference in results when collaborating directly with GPRS Project Managers in the field:

“At-depth modeling really depends on the skills of our team members in the field, which is something that we pride ourselves on. A lot of other companies can go in and do LiDAR modeling, but us going in and being able to gather the information ourselves really makes a difference. Getting our team out there that can go in and tell you, “Okay, this is electrical conduit, this one is storm water, this one is electrical,” is a blessing. So, it really does depend on the data collected by the team in the field and luckily, we're in good hands with them.”
